The principal amounts of these non-accrual loans were $40.0 million and $25.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Included in non-accrual loans were $17.0 million and $11.1 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no loans 90 days or greater past due and still accruing interest at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. The Company defines an impaired loan as a non-homogeneous loan greater than $1.0 million for which it is probable, based on current information, all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Impaired loans also include all loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). A loan is deemed to be a TDR when a loan modification resulting in a concession is made in an effort to mitigate potential loss arising from a borrower’s financial difficulty. Smaller balance homogeneous loans, including residential mortgages and other consumer loans, are evaluated collectively for impairment and are excluded from the definition of impaired loans, unless modified as a TDR. The Company separately calculates the reserve for loan losses on impaired loans. The Company may recognize impairment of a loan based upon: (1) the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate; (2) if a loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of collateral; or (3) the fair value of the loan. Additionally, if impaired loans have risk characteristics in common, those loans may be aggregated and historical statistics may be used as a means of measuring those impaired loans. The Company uses third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the underlying collateral in its analysis of collateral dependent impaired loans. A third-party appraisal is generally ordered as soon as a loan is designated as a collateral dependent impaired loan and is generally updated annually or more frequently, if required. A specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is established for each collateral dependent impaired loan with a carrying balance greater than the collateral’s fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Charge-offs are generally taken for the amount of the specific allocation when operations associated with the respective property cease and it is determined that collection of amounts due will be derived primarily from the disposition of the collateral. At each quarter end, if a loan is designated as a collateral dependent impaired loan and the third-party appraisal has not yet been received, Management makes an evaluation of all available collateral using the best information available at the time, including rent rolls, borrower financial statements and tax returns, prior appraisals, management’s knowledge of the market and collateral, and internally prepared collateral valuations based upon market assumptions regarding vacancy and capitalization rates, each as and where applicable. Once the appraisal is received and reviewed, the specific reserves are adjusted to reflect the appraised value. The Company believes there have been no significant time lapses in the recognition of changes in collateral values as a result of this process. At September 30, 2019, there were 160 impaired loans totaling $71.3 million. Included in this total were 133 TDRs related to 129 borrowers totaling $44.2 million that were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and which continued to accrue interest at September 30, 2019. At December 31, 2018, there were 152 impaired loans totaling $50.7 million. Included in this total were 129 TDRs to 124 borrowers totaling $35.6 million that were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and which continued to accrue interest at December 31, 2018. The following table summarizes loans receivable by portfolio segment and impairment method, excluding PCI loans (in thousands): September 30, 2019 Mortgage Commercial Consumer Total Portfolio Individually evaluated for impairment $ 36,378 32,824 2,069 71,271 Collectively evaluated for impairment 5,171,045 1,627,042 401,507 7,199,594 Total gross loans $ 5,207,423 1,659,866 403,576 7,270,865 December 31, 2018 Mortgage Commercial Consumer Total Portfolio Individually evaluated for impairment $ 24,680 23,747 2,257 50,684 Collectively evaluated for impairment 5,102,773 1,671,274 429,171 7,203,218 Total gross loans $ 5,127,453 1,695,021 431,428 7,253,902 The allowance for loan losses is summarized by portfolio segment and impairment classification as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2019 Mortgage Commercial loans Consumer loans Total Individually evaluated for impairment $ 908 4,353 45 5,306 Collectively evaluated for impairment 24,173 25,990 1,875 52,038 Total gross loans $ 25,081 30,343 1,920 57,344 December 31, 2018 Mortgage Commercial loans Consumer Total Individually evaluated for impairment $ 1,026 92 47 1,165 Collectively evaluated for impairment 26,652 25,601 2,144 54,397 Total gross loans $ 27,678 25,693 2,191 55,562 Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties that are considered TDRs generally involve lowering the monthly payments on such loans through either a reduction in interest rate below a market rate, an extension of the term of the loan without a corresponding adjustment to the risk premium reflected in the interest rate, or a combination of these two methods. These modifications generally do not result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, the Company attempts to obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans. If the borrower has 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 six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible. The following tables present the number of loans modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, along with their balances immediately prior to the modification date and post-modification as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): For the three months ended September 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 Troubled Debt Restructurings Number of Pre-Modification Post-Modification Number of Pre-Modification Post-Modification ($ in thousands) Mortgage loans: Residential — $ — $ — 3 $ 693 $ 694 Total mortgage loans — — — 3 693 694 Commercial loans — — — 2 5,919 6,062 Consumer loans 1 20 16 1 336 335 Total restructured loans 1 $ 20 $ 16 6 $ 6,948 $ 7,091 For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 Troubled Debt Restructurings Number of Pre-Modification Post-Modification Number of Pre-Modification Post-Modification ($ in thousands) Mortgage loans: Residential 2 $ 749 $ 716 4 $ 811 $ 797 Commercial 1 14,010 14,010 — — — Total mortgage loans 3 14,759 14,726 4 811 797 Commercial loans 7 2,707 1,878 6 12,545 8,752 Consumer loans 1 20 16 1 336 335 Total restructured loans 11 $ 17,486 $ 16,620 11 $ 13,692 $ 9,884 All TDRs are impaired loans, which are individually evaluated for impairment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, $5.7 million and $7.7 million of charge-offs were recorded on collateral dependent impaired loans. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $6.3 million and $8.3 million of charge-offs were recorded on collateral dependent impaired loans, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses associated with the TDRs presented in the preceding tables totaled $141,000, while there was no allowance associated with TDR's for the three months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and was included in the allowance for loan losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the TDRs presented in the preceding tables had a weighted average modified interest rate of approximately 5.63% and 3.83%, respectively, compared to a weighted average rate of 5.38% and 3.98% prior to modification, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The following table presents loans modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months from September 30, 2019 and 2018, and for which there was a payment default (90 days or more past due) at the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

There were three payment defaults (90 days or more past due) to one borrower for loans modified as TDRs within the 12 month period ending September 30, 2018. TDRs that subsequently default are considered collateral dependent impaired loans and are evaluated for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less expected selling costs. PCI loans are loans acquired at a discount primarily due to deteriorated credit quality. These loans are accounted for at fair value, based upon the present value of expected future cash flows, with no related allowance for loan losses. PCI loans totaled $842,000 at September 30, 2019 and $899,000 at December 31, 2018.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for loan losses totaled $18.6 million and $31.1 million, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $73.2 million and $53.9 million, respectively. Management utilizes an internal nine-point risk rating system to summarize its loan portfolio into categories with similar risk characteristics. Loans deemed to be “acceptable quality” are rated 1 through 4, with a rating of 1 established for loans with minimal risk. Loans that are deemed to be of “questionable quality” are rated 5 (watch) or 6 (special mention). Loans with adverse classifications (substandard, doubtful or loss) are rated 7, 8 or 9, respectively. Commercial mortgage, commercial, multi-family and construction loans are rated individually, and each lending officer is responsible for risk rating loans in their portfolio. These risk ratings are then reviewed by the department manager and/or the Chief Lending Officer and by the Credit Department. The risk ratings are also confirmed through periodic loan review examinations which are currently performed by an independent third-party. Reports by the independent third-party are presented directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
