LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND IMPAIRED LOANS | LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND IMPAIRED LOANS The ALL represents management’s estimate of probable and inherent credit losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the ALL requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of other qualitative factors such as current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. There are many factors affecting the ALL; some are quantitative, while others require qualitative judgment. The process for determining the ALL (which management believes adequately considers potential factors which result in probable credit losses), includes subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for loan losses could be required that could adversely affect the Company’s earnings or financial position in future periods. Allocations of the ALL may be made for specific loans but the entire ALL is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off or for which an actual loss is realized. As an integral part of their examination process, various regulatory agencies also review the Bank’s ALL. Such agencies may require that changes in the ALL be recognized when such regulators’ credit evaluations differ from those of our management based on information available to the regulators at the time of their examinations. Changes in the ALL by loan type for the periods presented below were as follows: Real Estate Consumer and Other Total Nine months Ended June 30, 2015: Allowance for Loan Losses: Beginning balance, October 1, 2014 $ 2,759 $ 3,747 $ 6,506 Charge-offs (320 ) (399 ) (719 ) Recoveries 22 218 240 Provision 333 202 535 Ending balance, June 30, 2015 $ 2,794 $ 3,768 $ 6,562 Allowance for Loan Losses at June 30, 2015: Amount of Allowance for Loan Losses arising from loans individually evaluated for impairment $ 432 $ 119 $ 551 Amount of Allowance for Loan Losses arising from loans collectively evaluated for impairment $ 2,362 $ 3,649 $ 6,011 Loans Receivable as of June 30, 2015: Ending balance $ 251,792 $ 205,416 $ 457,208 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ 5,361 $ 855 $ 6,216 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 246,431 $ 204,561 $ 450,992 Real Estate Consumer and Other Total Year ended September 30, 2014 Allowance for Loan Losses: Beginning balance, October 1, 2013 $ 2,541 $ 3,639 $ 6,180 Charge-offs (1,238 ) (689 ) (1,927 ) Recoveries 94 249 343 Provision 1,362 548 1,910 Ending balance, September 30, 2014 $ 2,759 $ 3,747 $ 6,506 Allowance for Loan Losses at September 30, 2014: Amount of Allowance for Loan Losses arising from loans individually evaluated for impairment $ 525 $ 207 $ 732 Amount of Allowance for Loan Losses arising from loans collectively evaluated for impairment $ 2,234 $ 3,540 $ 5,774 Loans Receivable as of September 30, 2014: Ending balance $ 261,315 $ 209,051 $ 470,366 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ 6,542 $ 1,267 $ 7,809 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 254,773 $ 207,784 $ 462,557 The Bank has originated substantially all loans currently recorded on the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, except as noted below. During October 2012, the Bank entered into an agreement to purchase short term consumer loans from a third party on an ongoing basis. As part of the servicer agreement entered into in connection with this purchase agreement, the third party seller agreed to purchase or substitute performing consumer loans for all contracts that become 120 days past due. Pursuant to the ongoing loan purchase agreement, a Board of Director determinant was originally established to limit the purchase of these consumer loans under this arrangement to a maximum of $40,000 and a restricted reserve account was established at 3% of the outstanding consumer loan balances purchased up to a maximum of $1,000 , with such percentage amount of the loans being deposited into a segregated reserve account. The funds in the reserve account are to be released to compensate the Bank for any purchased loans that are not purchased back by the seller or substituted with performing loans and are ultimately charged off by the Bank. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Board of Directors increased the limit of these purchased consumer loans to a maximum of $50,000 . As of June 30, 2015 , the balance of the consumer loans purchased was $ 36,846 . The balance in the cash reserve account has reached the maximum allowed balance of $1,000 , which is included in Deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. To date, none of the purchased loans have been charged off or have experienced losses. Loans receivable by loan type as of the end of the periods shown below were as follows: Real Estate Loans Consumer and Other Loans Total Loans June 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 June 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 June 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 Performing loans Performing TDR loans $ 3,654 $ 4,535 $ 517 $ 797 $ 4,171 $ 5,332 Performing loans other 246,760 255,564 204,617 207,885 451,377 463,449 Total performing loans 250,414 260,099 205,134 208,682 455,548 468,781 Nonperforming loans (1) Nonperforming TDR loans 289 202 49 47 338 249 Nonperforming loans other 1,089 1,014 233 322 1,322 1,336 Total nonperforming loans $ 1,378 $ 1,216 $ 282 $ 369 $ 1,660 $ 1,585 Total loans $ 251,792 $ 261,315 $ 205,416 $ 209,051 $ 457,208 $ 470,366 (1) Nonperforming loans are either 90+ days past due or nonaccrual. An aging analysis of the Company’s real estate, consumer and other loans and purchased third party loans as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 , respectively, was as follows: 30-59 Days Past Due 61-89 Days Past Due Greater Than 90 Days Total Past Due Current Total Loans Recorded Investment > 89 days and Accruing June 30, 2015 Real estate loans $ 838 $ 73 $ 1,131 $ 2,042 $ 249,750 $ 251,792 $ 671 Consumer and other loans 598 62 66 726 167,844 168,570 11 Purchased third party loans 220 199 123 542 36,304 36,846 123 Total $ 1,656 $ 334 $ 1,320 $ 3,310 $ 453,898 $ 457,208 $ 805 September 30, 2014 Real estate loans $ 678 $ 80 $ 989 $ 1,747 $ 259,568 $ 261,315 $ 228 Consumer and other loans 354 73 178 605 175,634 176,239 99 Purchased third party loans 190 136 73 399 32,413 32,812 74 Total $ 1,222 $ 289 $ 1,240 $ 2,751 $ 467,615 $ 470,366 $ 401 At June 30, 2015 , the Company has identified $4,509 of TDR loans and $1,707 of substandard loans as impaired, totaling $6,216 , which includes $4,171 of performing TDR loans. A loan is identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Performing TDRs consist of loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with the modified terms for a sufficient length of time, generally six months, or loans that were modified on a proactive basis. A summary of the Company’s impaired loans as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was as follows: With No Related Allowance Recorded With An Allowance Recorded Totals Real Estate Consumer and Other Total Real Estate Consumer and Other Total Real Estate Consumer and Other Total Recorded investment at June 30, 2015 $ 3,714 $ 537 $ 4,251 $ 1,647 $ 318 $ 1,965 $ 5,361 $ 855 $ 6,216 Unpaid balance at June 30, 2015 3,714 537 4,251 1,647 318 1,965 5,361 855 6,216 Recorded investment at September 30, 2014 4,345 535 4,880 2,197 732 2,929 6,542 1,267 7,809 Unpaid balance at September 30, 2014 4,345 535 4,880 2,197 732 2,929 6,542 1,267 7,809 Average recorded investment; nine months ended June 30, 2015 3,350 489 3,839 2,283 600 2,883 5,633 1,089 6,722 Average recorded investment; twelve months ended September 30, 2014 4,722 614 5,336 3,137 823 3,960 7,859 1,437 9,296 Interest income received; nine months ended June 30, 2015 52 10 62 7 6 13 59 16 75 Interest income received; twelve months ended September 30, 2014 149 32 181 68 24 92 217 56 273 Troubled Debt Restructuring – A TDR includes a loan modification where a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Bank grants a concession to that borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider except for the borrower’s financial difficulties. Concessions include an extension of loan terms, renewals of existing balloon loans, reductions in interest rates and consolidating existing Bank loans at modified terms. A TDR may be either on accrual or nonaccrual status based upon the performance of the borrower and management’s assessment of collectability. If a TDR is placed on nonaccrual status, it remains there until a sufficient period of performance under the restructured terms has occurred at which time it is returned to accrual status. There were 4 delinquent TDRs greater than 60 days past due with a recorded investment of $263 at June 30, 2015 , compared to 4 such loans with a recorded investment of $191 at September 30, 2014 .
