LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES | NOTE J – LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Loans receivable, net were comprised of the following: March 31, September 30, 2016 2015 (Dollars in thousands) One-to four-family residential $ 162,135 $ 169,781 Commercial real estate 178,626 173,864 Construction 11,755 6,679 Home equity lines of credit 22,006 21,176 Commercial business 39,262 41,485 Other 9,991 10,305 Total loans receivable 423,775 423,290 Net deferred loan costs 195 192 Allowance for loan losses (2,890 ) (2,886 ) Total loans receivable, net $ 421,080 $ 420,596 The segments of the Bank's loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The residential mortgage loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes: amortizing term loans, which are primarily first liens, and home equity lines of credit, which are generally second liens. The commercial real estate loan segment is further disaggregated into three classes: commercial real estate loans include loans secured by multifamily structures, owner-occupied commercial structures, and non-owner occupied nonresidential properties. The construction loan segment consists primarily of loans to developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing residential or commercial structures and to a lesser extent one-to-four family residential construction loans made to individuals for the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Construction loans to developers and investors have a higher risk profile because the ultimate buyer, once development is completed, is generally not known at the time of the loan. The commercial business loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers and consists primarily of revolving lines of credit. The consumer loan segment consists primarily of stock-secured installment loans, but also includes unsecured personal loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts. Management evaluates individual loans in all segments for possible impairment if the loan either is in nonaccrual status, or is risk rated Substandard and is greater than 90 days past due. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the recorded investment in the loan is compared to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; (b) the loan's observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, less anticipated selling and disposition costs. The method is selected on a loan-by loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. If there is a shortfall between the fair value of the loan and the recorded investment in the loan, the Company charges the difference to the allowance for loan loss as a charge-off and carries the impaired loan on its books at fair value. It is the Company's policy to evaluate impaired loans on an annual basis to ensure the recorded investment in a loan does not exceed its fair value. The following table presents impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and charged-off and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary at the dates presented: Impaired Loans with Impaired Loans with No Specific Specific Allowance Allowance Total Impaired Loans Recorded Related Recorded Recorded Principal At March 31, 2016 Investment Allowance Investment Investment Balance (Dollars in thousands) One-to four-family residential $ — $ — $ 4,132 $ 4,132 $ 4,275 Commercial real estate — — 4,995 4,995 6,501 Home equity lines of credit — — 29 29 29 Commercial business 1,307 95 273 1,580 1,963 Total impaired loans $ 1,307 $ 95 $ 9,429 $ 10,736 $ 12,768 Impaired Loans with Impaired Loans with No Specific Specific Allowance Allowance Total Impaired Loans Recorded Related Recorded Recorded Principal At September 30, 2015 Investment Allowance Investment Investment Balance (Dollars in thousands) One-to four-family residential $ — $ — $ 3,017 $ 3,017 $ 3,134 Commercial real estate — — 5,447 5,447 6,556 Home equity lines of credit — — 417 417 521 Commercial business 1,690 201 66 1,756 1,756 Total impaired loans $ 1,690 $ 201 $ 8,947 $ 10,637 $ 11,967 The following table presents the average recorded investment in impaired loans for the periods indicated.

The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as severe delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Bank's Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Asset Review Committee performs monthly reviews of all commercial relationships internally rated 6 (“Watch”) or worse. Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is performed by an external Loan Review Company that semi-annually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $500,000 and/or criticized relationships greater than $250,000. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard on a monthly basis. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful within the Bank's internal risk rating system at the dates presented: Special Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total (Dollars in thousands) March 31, 2016 One-to four-family residential $ 158,993 $ — $ 3,142 $ — $ 162,135 Commercial real estate 174,766 — 3,860 — 178,626 Construction 9,277 — 2,478 — 11,755 Home equity lines of credit 21,300 — 706 — 22,006 Commercial business 37,936 — 19 1,307 39,262 Other 9,991 — — — 9,991 Total $ 412,263 $ — $ 10,205 $ 1,307 $ 423,775 Special Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total (Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2015 One-to four-family residential $ 166,846 $ — $ 2,935 $ — $ 169,781 Commercial real estate 169,239 210 3,309 1,106 173,864 Construction 2,468 — 4,211 — 6,679 Home equity lines of credit 19,436 — 1,740 — 21,176 Commercial business 39,764 — 1,721 — 41,485 Other 10,305 — — — 10,305 Total $ 408,058 $ 210 $ 13,916 $ 1,106 $ 423,290 Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories of performing loans and nonaccrual loans at the dates presented: 30-59 60-89 Days Days 90 Days + Total Non- Total Current Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Accrual Loans (Dollars in thousands) March 31, 2016 One-to four-family residential $ 159,018 $ 45 $ — $ 3,072 $ 3,117 $ 3,072 $ 162,135 Commercial real estate 177,144 2 — 1,480 1,482 1,480 178,626 Construction 11,755 — — — — — 11,755 Home equity lines of credit 21,972 — — 34 34 34 22,006 Commercial business 37,527 4 — 1,731 1,735 1,731 39,262 Other 9,991 — — — — — 9,991 Total $ 417,407 $ 51 $ — $ 6,317 $ 6,368 $ 6,317 $ 423,775 30-59 60-89 Days Days 90 Days + Total Non- Total Current Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Accrual Loans (Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2015 One-to four-family residential $ 166,993 $ — $ 730 $ 2,058 $ 2,788 $ 2,058 $ 169,781 Commercial real estate 171,969 — — 1,895 1,895 1,895 173,864 Construction 6,679 — — — — — 6,679 Home equity lines of credit 20,921 — — 255 255 255 21,176 Commercial business 39,777 — 19 1,689 1,708 1,689 41,485 Other 10,305 — — — — — 10,305 Total $ 416,644 $ — $ 749 $ 5,897 $ 6,646 $ 5,897 $ 423,290 An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management's continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans (“NPLs”). The Bank's methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance. Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative and economic factors. The loans are segmented into classes based on their inherent varying degrees of risk, as described above. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity by segment and utilizes this figure, as a percentage of the segment, as the general reserve percentage for pooled, homogenous loans that have not been deemed impaired. Typically, an average of losses incurred over a defined number of consecutive historical years is used. Non-impaired credits are segregated for the application of qualitative factors. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources include: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint. Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL. Since loans individually evaluated for impairment are promptly written down to their fair value, typically there is no portion of the ALL for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

Management believes that the segmentation of the loan portfolio into homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date. The Bank has adopted FASB ASU No. 2011-02 on the determination of whether a loan restructuring is considered to be a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). A TDR is a loan that has been modified whereby the Bank has agreed to make certain concessions to a borrower to meet the needs of both the borrower and the Bank to maximize the ultimate recovery of a loan. TDR occurs when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties and the loan is modified using a modification that would otherwise not be granted to the borrower. The types of concessions granted generally include, but are not limited to, interest rate reductions, limitations on the accrued interest charged, term extensions, and deferment of principal. A default on a troubled debt restructured loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when a borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred. There were no TDRs for the three and six months ended March and 2015. The Company foreclosed $ 726,000 3.1 |
