Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 3: Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses A summary of the Company’s loan portfolio at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows: (in thousands) September 30, December 31, 2015 2014 Commercial $ 61,184 $ 53,973 Commercial Real Estate 273,715 254,505 Construction 12,386 3,096 Construction to permanent 10,669 10,627 Residential 91,378 108,543 Consumer 46,982 46,164 Total Loans 496,314 476,908 Allowance for loan losses (5,240 ) (4,924 ) Loans receivable, net $ 491,074 $ 471,984 The Company's lending activities are conducted principally in Fairfield and New Haven Counties in Connecticut, Westchester County in New York, and the five Boroughs of New York City. The Company originates commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, construction loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company previously had originated loans on residential real estate. All residential and commercial mortgage loans are collateralized primarily by first or second mortgages on real estate. The ability and willingness of borrowers to satisfy their loan obligations is dependent to some degree on the status of the regional economy as well as upon the regional real estate market. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of any resulting real estate acquired is susceptible to changes in market conditions. The Company has established credit policies applicable to each type of lending activity in which it engages, evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer and, in most cases, extends credit of up to 75% of the market value of the collateral for commercial real estate at the date of the credit extension depending on the Company's evaluation of the borrowers' creditworthiness and type of collateral and up to 80% for multi–family real estate. In the case of construction loans, the maximum loan-to-value is 75% of the “as completed” appraised value. The appraised value of collateral is monitored on an ongoing basis and additional collateral is requested when warranted. Real estate is the primary form of collateral. Other important forms of collateral are accounts receivable, inventory, other business assets, marketable securities and time deposits. Risk characteristics of the Company’s portfolio classes include the following: Commercial Real Estate Loans – Commercial and Industrial Loans Residential Real Estate Loans Construction Loans Other/Consumer Loans The Company does not have any lending programs commonly referred to as subprime lending. Subprime lending generally targets borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burdened ratios. The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for loan losses, by loan type, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The following table also details the amount of loans receivable that are evaluated individually, and collectively, for impairment, and the related portion of the allowance for loan losses that is allocated to each loan portfolio segment.

Credit quality is monitored by reviewing certain credit quality indicators and trends, including but not limited to, loan to value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, debt to worth ratios, profitability ratios, cash flows and credit scores. Appraisals on properties securing non-performing loans and Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) are updated annually. We update our impairment analysis monthly based on the most recent appraisal as well as other factors (such as senior lien positions, property taxes, etc.). The majority of the Company’s impaired loans have been resolved through courses of action other than via liquidations of real estate collateral through OREO. These include normal loan payoffs, the traditional workout process, triggering personal guarantee obligations, and troubled debt restructurings. However, as loan workout efforts progress to a point where the Company's liquidation of real estate collateral is the likely outcome, the impairment analysis is updated to reflect actual recent experience with the Company's sales of OREO properties. A disposition discount is built into our impairment analysis and reflected in our allowance once a property is determined to be a likely OREO (e.g. foreclosure is probable). To determine the discount we compare the average sales prices of our prior OREO properties to the appraised value that was obtained as of the date when we took title to the property. The difference is the Company owned disposition discount. The Company has a risk rating system as part of the risk assessment of its loan portfolio. The Company’s lending officers are required to assign a risk rating to each loan in their portfolio at origination, which is ratified or modified by the Committee to which the loan is submitted for approval. When the lender learns of important financial developments, the risk rating is reviewed and adjusted if necessary. Similarly, the Loan Committee can adjust a risk rating. The Company employs a system to ensure an independent review of the ratings annually for commercial credits over $250,000. The Company uses an independent third party loan reviewer who performs quarterly reviews of a sample of loans, validating the Company's risk ratings assigned to such loans. Any upgrades to classified loans must be approved by the Management Loan Committee. When assigning a risk rating to a loan, management utilizes the Company's internal eleven-point risk rating system. An asset is considered “special mention” when it has a potential weakness based on objective evidence, but does not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the following categories: ● An asset is considered “substandard” if it is not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets have well defined weaknesses based on objective evidence, and are characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the Company will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. ● Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Charge–off generally commences after the loan is classified “doubtful” to reduce the loan to its recoverable balance. If the account is classified as “loss”, the full balance is charged off regardless of the potential recovery from the sale of the collateral. That amount is recognized as a recovery after the collateral is sold. In accordance with FFIEC (“Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council”) published policies establishing uniform criteria for the classification of retail credit based on delinquency status, “Open-end” credits are charged-off when 180 days delinquent and “Closed-end” credits are charged-off when 120 days delinquent. I ncluded in loans receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. The unpaid principal balances of loans on nonaccrual status and considered impaired were $383,000 at September 30, 2015 and $866,000 at December 31, 2014. If non-accrual loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms, the Company would have recorded approximately $3,000 of additional income during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and $17,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. If non-accrual loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms, the Company would have recorded approximately $8,000 of additional income during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $52,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be less than 90 days delinquent and still be on a non-accruing status. At September 30, 2015, 2 loans were on non-accrual status totaling $383,000. One of them is a residential real estate loan for $380, 000 and the other one is a $3,000 consumer auto loan.

Loans that did not require specific reserves have sufficient collateral values, less costs to sell, supporting the carrying balances of the loans. In some cases, there may be no specific reserves because the Company already charged-off the specific impairment. Once a borrower is in default, the Company is under no obligation to advance additional funds on unused commitments.

If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession has been made, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructured loan. No loans were modified in troubled debt restructurings during the twelve months ended September 30, 2015. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Company modified one loan as a troubled debt restructured loan. The loan was a commercial real estate loan with a pre-modification balance of $1.3 million. Modification was made to the term of the loan and to the interest rate on the note. Post-modification, the loan balance was $1.2 million as the result of a principal pay-down required as part of the terms of the modification. Since the modification, the loan has been current and paying in accordance with the terms of the restructuring. Substantially all of our troubled debt restructured loan modifications involve lowering the monthly payments on such loans through either a reduction in interest rate below market rate, an extension of the term of the loan, or a combination of these two methods. These modifications rarely result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, we frequently obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying commercial loans. If the borrower had demonstrated performance under the previous terms and our underwriting process shows the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will continue to accrue interest. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally nine consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible. All troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans, which are individually evaluated for impairment. |
