NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in tables expressed in thousands, except per share data)


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated statements of condition of Camden National Corporation as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain items from the prior period were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The income reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the year ended December 31, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09") and ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14"): In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 followed by the issuance of ASU 2015-14 in August 2015, to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified-retrospective transition method. As part of its assessment, the Company concluded that the following material revenue streams were within the scope of ASU 2014-09: (i) service charges on deposit accounts; (ii) debit card interchange income; (iii) income from fiduciary services and (iv) investment program income. Through the Company's assessment, it was determined that there will be no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning shareholders' equity under the modified-retrospective transition method within the consolidated financial statements as there was no change in revenue recognition upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.

The details of the revenue streams within the scope of ASU 2014-09 are as follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts: Deposit-related fees, include, but are not limited to, overdraft income, service charge income, and other fees generated by the depositor relationship with the Bank. For each depositor relationship, an agreement and related disclosures outline the terms of the contract between the depositor and the Bank, including the assessment of fees and fee structure for its various products. The contract is day-to-day and can be closed by the customer or the Bank at any time. As such, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of the transaction as the performance obligation has been met.

The Company presents its revenues earned on service charges on deposit accounts within (i) service charges on deposit accounts and (ii) other service charges and fees on the consolidated statements of income.

Debit card interchange income: The Bank has separate contracts with intermediaries and earns interchange revenue and incurs related expenses on debit card transactions of its deposit customers. Income earned and expenses incurred by the Bank are dependent on its depositors' debit card usage, including depositor spend, transaction type and merchant. The rates earned are determined by the intermediaries. The Company determined that while the contract for which revenues are directly earned is with the intermediary rather than the depositor, that the underlying contract with each depositor is required for the generation of debit card interchange income and it is the depositors' debit card usage that drives the revenues earned and related expenses incurred. The contract with the depositor is day-to-day and can be closed by the customer or the Bank at any time. As such, the Company recognized revenue at the time of the transaction as the performance obligation has been met.

The Company's debit card interchange revenue and related expenses are presented on a gross basis in accordance with ASU 2014-09 as clarified by ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations ("ASU 2016-08"), as it has control of the specified service prior to transfer to the depositor through the extension of credit.

The Bank pays to certain depositors cash rewards for debit card usage to promote usage and increase interchange revenue. As the consideration paid to its depositors is not for any separate or distinct service these costs are accounted for and presented as a reduction of debit card income upon adoption for periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company did not revise prior period presentation on its consolidated statements of income as the modified-retrospective transition method was used.

The Company presents its revenues earned on debit card income within debit card income and related expenses on debit card transactions within debit card expense on the consolidated statements of income.


10



Fiduciary services income: The Company, through the Bank's wealth management and trust services department, doing business as Camden National Wealth Management, earns fees for its investment management and related services for its clients. Fees earned for its services are largely dependent on assets under management as of the last day of the month and do not contain performance clauses. Should the contract be terminated by either party, fees for services are earned up to the effective date of contract termination. As such, fiduciary services income is earned and recognized daily.

The Company presents its revenues earned on fiduciary services within income from fiduciary services on the consolidated statements of income.

Investment program income: Under an investment program offered by the Bank, doing business as Camden Financial Consultant (“Program”), its clients are provided access to brokerage, advisory and insurance products offered through an unaffiliated third party, LPL Financial LLC1 ("LPL Financial"). Certain Bank employees are registered securities representatives and/or registered investment advisor representatives of LPL Financial who operate in such capacity under Camden Financial Consultants to provide clients with brokerage, investment advisory and insurance related services. The Bank receives a portion of the commissions and fees received by LPL Financial from the sale of investment products and investment advisory services in accordance with the terms of the contract between the two parties.

The revenues earned by the Bank are net of administrative expenses and the portion retained by LPL Financial. The Bank does not have control of the specified services provided to its clients under the Program by LPL Financial. Revenues earned from Program-related services are presented on the consolidated statements of income on a net basis in accordance with ASU 2014-09 as clarified by ASU 2016-08.

The Company presents its revenues earned from Program-related services within brokerage and insurance commissions on the consolidated statements of income.

ASU No. 2016-01, Income Statement - Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"): In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide the users of financial statements with more useful information for decisions. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 and applied the provisions of the standard within its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which included:
The Company's equity investments are no longer designated and accounted for as AFS securities, with the change in fair value recognized within AOCI, net of tax. Instead, the change in fair value of equity investments with a readily determinable fair value are to be recognized within net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $35,000 for the change in fair value of its equity investments within other income on the Company's consolidated statements of income. The recognition for the change in fair value within net income was applied prospectively, and the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018 for its equity investments to reclassify the unrealized gain, net of tax, of $198,000 previously recognized within AOCI to retained earnings.
The Company used the "exit price" notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes only. The Company previously used the "entry price" notion for purposes of measuring its loans held for investment for disclosure purposes only. The change in valuation methodology has been applied prospectively as it does not have a material effect on the comparability of the disclosure.
The Company no longer discloses the method or significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for its financial instruments measured at amortized cost on its consolidated statements of condition for which fair value is provided for disclosure purposes only.

ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"): In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement by companies to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, as well as provide other guidance to improve consistency, transparency and usefulness. Prior to adoption, the Company presented all components of net periodic benefit costs within the salaries and employee benefits on the Company's consolidated statements of income. Upon adoption, the Company now presents the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the salaries and employee benefits line and all other components of net periodic cost within other expenses on its consolidated statements of income. The change in presentation has been applied retrospectively to prior periods represented on the Company's consolidated statements of income using the amounts previously disclosed within its prior year financial statements as a practical expedient.

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"): In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 to address eight specific cash flow presentation matters within the statement of cash flows and reduce diversity of presentation across companies. Of the eight specific cash flow presentation matters addressed by the standard, it is noted that one matter addressed is of relevance to the Company based on its current and past operations: proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies. The standard states that cash proceeds received from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities within statement of cash flows.

The Company adopted the standard for financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and it has been applied within the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows using a retrospective transition method.

ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"): In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 to reduce the diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As such, the statement of cash flows should consider the changes in amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the statements of cash flows.

The Company adopted the standard for financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and it has been applied within the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows using a retrospective transition method.

Accounting Standards Issued

The following are recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company:

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"): In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities (including operating leases) on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Current lease accounting does not require the inclusion of operating leases in the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, early application is permitted. The Company will adopt under a modified-retrospective approach.

Upon adoption, ASU 2016-02 will increase the Company's total assets and liabilities on its consolidated statements of condition as its operating leases will be accounted for as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability; however, the Company does not anticipate that upon adoption the ASU will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of adoption of this standard.


12



ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08"): In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased and carried at a premium, by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date of the debt security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company will adopt on a modified retrospective basis with any necessary adjustments to retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment. While the Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2017-08, it does not expect the ASU will have a material impact to its financial statements upon adoption.

ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"): In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 to make certain specific improvements to hedge accounting to better align hedge accounting with risk management activities, eliminate the separate measurement and recording of hedge ineffectiveness, improve presentation and disclosure, and other simplifications. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All transition requirements and elections are to be applied to existing hedging relationships upon adoption. While the Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2017-12, it does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"): In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 to require timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company will adopt the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach, whereby a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings upon adoption. The Company will use a prospective transition approach for debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date, as applicable.

While the Company continues to prepare for the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, it recognizes the changes to its consolidated financial statements upon adoption are imminent as the ASU requires:
A change in the Company's assessment of its ALL and allowance on unused commitments as it will transition from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model, which may result in an increase in the ALL upon adoption and may negatively impact the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios.
May reduce the carrying value of the Company's HTM investment securities as it will require an allowance on the expected losses over the life of these securities to be recorded upon adoption.
Changes to the considerations when assessing AFS debt securities for OTTI, including (i) no longer considering the amount of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position and (ii) no longer considering the historical and implied volatility of a security and recoveries or declines in the fair value after the balance sheet date, as well as the presentation of OTTI as an allowance rather than a permanent write-down of the debt security.
Changes to the disclosure requirements to reflect the transition from an incurred loss methodology to an expected credit loss methodology, as well as certain disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables disaggregated by year of origination (or vintage).

The Company continues to assess the overall impact to its financial statements, and, at this time, it does not have an estimated impact to its financial statements.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"): In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, step two of the goodwill impairment test was eliminated. Instead, in accordance with ASU 2017-04, a Company will recognize an impairment of goodwill should the carrying value of a reporting unit exceed its fair value (i.e. step one). ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and will be applied prospectively.

(1) Represents dividends paid and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.
(2) Represents the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted shares and vesting of restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method. Not included are the unvested LTIP awards as they have not met the performance criteria for the periods presented.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there are no anti-dilutive stock based awards that have been excluded from the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the average market price of the Company's common stock is greater than the exercise prices.

Nonvested stock-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company’s nonvested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities. 
  
Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested stock-based awards. Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner, except that the denominator includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares were issued using the treasury stock method.

As of December 31, 2017, equity investments were classified as AFS investments. Effective January 1, 2018, these investments were reclassified to other investments on the consolidated statements of condition as they are no longer eligible to be classified as AFS upon adoption of ASU 2016-01. Refer to Note 2 for further details.

Net unrealized losses on AFS investments at March 31, 2018 included in AOCI amounted to $20.2 million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $5.5 million. Net unrealized losses on AFS investments at December 31, 2017 included in AOCI amounted to $10.3 million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company purchased debt investments of $50.1 million and $77.3 million, respectively, all of which were designated as AFS debt investments.

Impaired AFS and HTM Investments:
Management periodically reviews the Company’s AFS and HTM investments to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. Thorough evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the ability of the securities to meet cash flow requirements, levels of credit enhancements, risk of curtailment, and recoverability of invested amount over a reasonable period of time, and the length of time the security is in a loss position, for example, are applied in

15



determining OTTI. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is permanently reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.
 
The following table presents the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses on AFS and HTM investments that were in a continuous loss position at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, by length of time that an individual security in each category has been in a continuous loss position:

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held 328 and 209 debt investments classified as AFS and HTM with a fair value of $823.6 million and $741.2 million that were in an unrealized loss position totaling $27.9 million and $14.5 million, respectively, that were considered temporary. Of these, MBS and CMOs with a fair value of $388.6 million and $398.4 million were in an unrealized loss position, and have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more, totaling $18.4 million and $11.2 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The unrealized loss was reflective of current interest rates in excess of the yield received on debt investments and is not indicative of an overall change in credit quality or other factors with the Company's AFS and HTM investment portfolio. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, gross unrealized losses on the Company's AFS and HTM investments were 3.0% and 2.0%, respectively, of its respective fair value.

The Company has the intent and ability to retain its debt investments in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2018 until the decline in value has recovered.

Sale of AFS Investments:
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not sell any AFS investments.

AFS and HTM Investments Pledged:
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, AFS and HTM investments with an amortized cost of $684.3 million and $702.5 million and estimated fair values of $661.9 million and $691.2 million, respectively, were pledged to secure FHLBB advances, public deposits, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $35,000 due to the change in fair value of its bank stock equity securities, and has been presented within other income on the consolidated statements of income. In addition, the Company's investment in a reinsurance program liquidated during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and a gain of $195,000 was recognized within other income on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The Bank is a member of the FHLBB and FRBB, and as a member, the Bank is required to hold a certain amount of FHLBB and FRB common stock. This stock is a non-marketable equity security and is reported at cost. The Company evaluates its FHLBB and FRB common stock for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment on its FHLBB and FRB stock.

The Bank’s lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, but also include a mortgage loan production office in Massachusetts and two commercial loan production offices in New Hampshire. The Company originates single family and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, business loans, municipal loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company makes loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties and commercial real estate properties. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity within the geographic area and the general economy.

The HPFC loan portfolio consists of niche commercial lending to the small business medical field, including dentists, optometrists and veterinarians across the U.S. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the success of the borrower's business. In 2016, the Company closed HPFC's operations and is no longer originating loans.

The ALL is management’s best estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the consolidated statement of condition date. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors including historical losses. If those assumptions are incorrect, the ALL may not be sufficient to cover losses and may cause an increase in the allowance in the future. Among the factors that could affect the Company’s ability to collect loans and require an increase to the allowance in the future are: (i) financial condition of borrowers; (ii) real estate market changes; (iii) state, regional, and national economic conditions; and (iv) a requirement by federal and state regulators to increase the provision for loan losses or recognize additional charge-offs.

There were no significant changes in the Company's ALL methodology during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The Board of Directors monitors credit risk through the Directors' Loan Review Committee, which reviews large credit exposures, monitors the external loan review reports, reviews the lending authority for individual loan officers when required, and has approval authority and responsibility for all matters regarding the loan policy and other credit-related policies, including reviewing and monitoring asset quality trends, concentration levels, and the ALL methodology. Credit Risk Administration and the Credit Risk Policy Committee oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, maintain the integrity of the loan rating system, determine the adequacy of the ALL and support the oversight efforts of the Directors' Loan Review Committee and the Board of Directors. The Company's practice is to proactively manage the portfolio such that management can identify problem credits early, assess and implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continuously reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions.

For purposes of determining the ALL, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments, which include residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, home equity, consumer and HPFC. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. These risk characteristics unique to each portfolio segment include:

Residential Real Estate. Residential real estate loans held in the Company's loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one- to four-family residential properties.

Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational, health care facilities and other specific use properties. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Commercial real estate loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the real property, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

Commercial. Commercial loans consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant & equipment, or real estate, if applicable. Commercial loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured.

Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. The home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The home equity line of credit has a variable rate and is billed as interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the principal balance plus all accrued interest. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Consumer. Consumer loan products including personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as education, auto loans, debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.


19



HPFC. Prior to the Company's closing of HPFC's operations in 2016, it provided commercial lending to dentists, optometrists and veterinarians, many of which were start-up companies. HPFC's loan portfolio consists of term loan obligations extended for the purpose of financing working capital and/or purchase of equipment. Collateral consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, and/or equipment. These loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower and the terms range from seven to ten years.

The provision (credit) for loan losses excludes any impact for the change in the reserve for unfunded commitments, which represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. At March 31, 2018 and 2017, and December 31, 2017, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $23,000, $9,000 and $20,000, respectively.

The following reconciles the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, and year ended December 31, 2017 (credit) provision for loan losses to the (credit) provision for credit losses as presented on the consolidated statement of income:

The Company focuses on maintaining a well-balanced and diversified loan portfolio. Despite such efforts, it is recognized that credit concentrations may occasionally emerge as a result of economic conditions, changes in local demand, natural loan growth and runoff. To ensure that credit concentrations can be effectively identified, all commercial and commercial real estate loans are assigned Standard Industrial Classification codes, North American Industry Classification System codes, and state and county codes. Shifts in portfolio concentrations are monitored by the Company's Credit Risk Administration. As of March 31, 2018, the non-residential building operators' industry exposure was 11% of the Company's total loan portfolio and 26% of the total commercial real estate portfolio. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2018.


22



To further identify loans with similar risk profiles, the Company categorizes each portfolio segment into classes by credit risk characteristic and applies a credit quality indicator to each portfolio segment. The indicators for commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and HPFC loans are represented by Grades 1 through 10 as outlined below. In general, risk ratings are adjusted periodically throughout the year as updated analysis and review warrants. This process may include, but is not limited to, annual credit and loan reviews, periodic reviews of loan performance metrics, such as delinquency rates, and quarterly reviews of adversely risk rated loans. The Company uses the following definitions when assessing grades for the purpose of evaluating the risk and adequacy of the ALL:

Grade 1 through 6 — Grades 1 through 6 represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risks, which is measured using a variety of credit risk criteria, such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan. In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties.
Grade 7 — Loans with potential weakness (Special Mention). Loans in this category are currently protected based on collateral and repayment capacity and do not constitute undesirable credit risk, but have potential weakness that may result in deterioration of the repayment process at some future date. This classification is used if a negative trend is evident in the obligor’s financial situation. Special mention loans do not sufficiently expose the Company to warrant adverse classification.
Grade 8 — Loans with definite weakness (Substandard). Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by collateral pledged. Borrowers experience difficulty in meeting debt repayment requirements. Deterioration is sufficient to cause the Company to look to the sale of collateral.
Grade 9 — Loans with potential loss (Doubtful). Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard grade with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the loan in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of some loss is extremely high, but because of specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
Grade 10 — Loans with definite loss (Loss). Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible. The loss classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset because recovery and collection time may be protracted.

Asset quality indicators are periodically reassessed to appropriately reflect the risk composition of the Company’s loan portfolio. Home equity and consumer loans are not individually risk rated, but rather analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency rates and other economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to meet debt service requirements, including interest rates and energy costs. Performing loans include loans that are current and loans that are past due less than 90 days. Loans that are past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans, including TDRs, are considered non-performing.
