* The preceding table shows small business loans and small business loans held at fair value. The small business loans held at fair value are comprised of the government guaranteed portion of SBA 7a loans at the dates indicated (in thousands). A reduction in SBL non-real estate from $293.5 million to $255.3 million in the fourth quarter resulted from the commencement of U.S. treasury repayments of PPP loans which totaled $42.1 million in fourth quarter 2020.

** Securities Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOC) are collateralized by marketable securities, while Insurance Backed Lines of Credit (IBLOC) are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies.

*** In 2020, we began originating loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinance, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. Maximum loan amounts are subject to loan to value ratios of 70%, based on third party business appraisals, but may be increased depending upon the debt service coverage ratio. Personal guarantees and blanket business liens are obtained as appropriate.

**** Included in the table above under Other consumer loans are demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $663,000 and $882,000 at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the allowance for credit losses and have been immaterial.

(a) This is the portion of SBA 7a loans (7a) and PPP which have been guaranteed by the U.S. government, and therefore are assumed to have no credit risk.

(b) Substantially all of these loans are made under the SBA 504 Fixed Asset Financing program (504) which dictates origination date loan to value percentages (LTV), generally 50-60%, to which the bank adheres.

(c) Of the $14 million Construction SBA loans, $11 million are 504 first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60% and $3 million are SBA interim loans with an approved SBA post-construction full takeout/payoff.

(d) The $101 million represents the unguaranteed portion of 7a loans which are 70% or more guaranteed by the U.S. government. 7a loans are not made on the basis of real estate LTV; however, they are subject to SBA's "All Available Collateral" rule which mandates that to the extent a borrower or its 20% or greater principals have available collateral (including personal residences), the collateral must be pledged to fully collateralize the loan, after applying SBA-determined liquidation rates. In addition, all 7a and 504 loans require the personal guaranty of all 20% or greater owners.

(e) The $18 million non-SBA loans are mainly comprised of approximately 20 conventional coffee/doughnut/carryout franchisee note purchases. The majority of purchased notes were made to multi-unit operators and are considered seasoned and have performed as agreed. A $2 million guaranty by the seller, for an 11% first loss piece, is in place until August 2021.

Additionally, the CARES Act of 2020 provided six months of principal and interest payments on 7a loans which generally ended in fourth quarter 2020 or in first quarter 2021. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, became law in December 2020 and provided for at least an additional three months of such payments on 7a loans, with up to eight months of payments on hotel and restaurant loans. Unlike the six months of CARES Act payments, these additional payments will be capped at $9,000 per month.

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While equities have fallen in excess of 30% in recent periods, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOCs generally has been less, for two reasons. First, many collateral accounts are “balanced” and accordingly have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Secondly, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to collateral.

Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)

IBLOC loans are backed by the cash value of life insurance policies which have been assigned to us. We lend up to 100% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, seven insurance companies have been approved and, as of August 14, 2020, all were rated Superior (A+ or better) by AM BEST.

(1) Weighted average of cumulative months deferred for loans currently on deferral

Note: At December 31, 2020, SBA 7a loans, included in the three SBL loan balance categories above, totaled $439.0 million of which $101.0 million was not U.S. government guaranteed. The CARES Act of 2020, or (“the CARES Act”), provided SBA 7a borrowers six months of principal and interest payments. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, became law in December 2020 and provided for an additional three months of payments on SBA 7a loans which begin on February 1, 2021. Accordingly, we expect deferrals to decrease when those payments are reinstituted at that date.
