Loans And Allowance For Loan Losses | LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Loans held for investment consist of the following: December 31, September 30, Real estate loans: Residential Core $ 9,504,202 $ 9,462,939 Residential Home Today 131,657 135,746 Home equity loans and lines of credit 1,597,289 1,625,239 Construction 55,723 55,421 Real estate loans 11,288,871 11,279,345 Other consumer loans 3,273 3,468 Add (deduct): Deferred loan expenses, net 12,020 10,112 Loans in process (32,153 ) (33,788 ) Allowance for loan losses (69,241 ) (71,554 ) Loans held for investment, net $ 11,202,770 $ 11,187,583 At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, $374 and $116 of loans were classified as mortgage loans held for sale. A large concentration of the Company’s lending is in Ohio and Florida. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , the percentages of residential real estate loans held in Ohio and Florida were 63% and 17% , respectively, at each date. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , home equity loans and lines of credit were concentrated in Ohio ( 39% ), Florida ( 26% ), and California ( 13% ) at each date. Although somewhat dissipating during the last two years, the lingering effects of the adverse economic conditions and market for real estate in Ohio and Florida that arose in connection with the financial crisis of 2008, continue to unfavorably impact the ability of borrowers in those areas to repay their loans. Home Today began as an affordable housing program targeted to benefit low- and moderate-income home buyers. Through this program the Association provided the majority of loans to borrowers who would not otherwise qualify for the Association’s loan products, generally because of low credit scores. Although the credit profiles of borrowers in the Home Today program might be described as sub-prime, Home Today loans generally contain the same features as loans offered to our Core borrowers. Borrowers with a Home Today loan complete financial management education and counseling and were referred to the Association by a sponsoring organization with which the Association partnered as part of the program. Because the Association applied less stringent underwriting and credit standards to the majority of Home Today loans, loans originated under the program have greater credit risk than its traditional residential real estate mortgage loans. While effective March 27, 2009, the Home Today underwriting guidelines were changed to be substantially the same as the Association’s traditional first mortgage product and the program focused on financial education and down payment assistance. The majority of loans in this program were originated prior to that date. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , the principal balance of Home Today loans originated prior to March 27, 2009 was $128,617 and $132,762 , respectively. The Association does not offer, and has not offered, loan products frequently considered to be designed to target sub-prime borrowers containing features such as higher fees or higher rates, negative amortization, a loan-to-value ratio greater than 100%, or pay option adjustable-rate mortgages. An age analysis of the recorded investment in loan receivables that are past due at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 is summarized in the following tables. When a loan is more than one month past due on its scheduled payments, the loan is considered 30 days or more past due. Balances are adjusted for deferred loan fees or expenses and any applicable loans-in-process. 30-59 Days Past Due 60-89 Days Past Due 90 Days or More Past Due Total Past Due Current Total December 31, 2015 Real estate loans: Residential Core $ 6,998 $ 3,206 $ 21,903 $ 32,107 $ 9,476,307 $ 9,508,414 Residential Home Today 5,121 2,798 9,063 16,982 112,997 129,979 Home equity loans and lines of credit 4,337 2,193 6,046 12,576 1,594,133 1,606,709 Construction — — — — 23,636 23,636 Total real estate loans 16,456 8,197 37,012 61,665 11,207,073 11,268,738 Other consumer loans — — — — 3,273 3,273 Total $ 16,456 $ 8,197 $ 37,012 $ 61,665 $ 11,210,346 $ 11,272,011 30-59 Days Past Due 60-89 Days Past Due 90 Days or More Past Due Total Past Due Current Total September 30, 2015 Real estate loans: Residential Core 8,242 $ 4,323 $ 23,306 $ 35,871 $ 9,430,189 $ 9,466,060 Residential Home Today 5,866 2,507 9,068 17,441 116,535 133,976 Home equity loans and lines of credit 5,012 1,162 5,575 11,749 1,622,683 1,634,432 Construction — — 427 427 20,774 21,201 Total real estate loans 19,120 7,992 38,376 65,488 11,190,181 11,255,669 Other consumer loans — — — — 3,468 3,468 Total $ 19,120 $ 7,992 $ 38,376 $ 65,488 $ 11,193,649 $ 11,259,137 At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , real estate loans include $26,345 and $28,864 , respectively, of loans that were in the process of foreclosure. The recorded investment of loan receivables in non-accrual status is summarized in the following table. Balances are adjusted for deferred loan fees or expenses. December 31, September 30, Real estate loans: Residential Core $ 59,947 $ 62,293 Residential Home Today 22,000 22,556 Home equity loans and lines of credit 21,016 21,514 Construction — 427 Total non-accrual loans $ 102,963 $ 106,790 Loans are placed in non-accrual status when they are contractually 90 days or more past due. Loans restructured in TDRs that were in non-accrual status prior to the restructurings remain in non-accrual status for a minimum of six months after restructuring. Additionally, home equity loans and lines of credit where the customer has a severely delinquent first mortgage loan and loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and not reaffirmed or been dismissed, are placed in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, the recorded investment in non-accrual loans includes $65,951 and $68,415 which are performing according to the terms of their agreement, of which $43,623 and $45,575 are loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status primarily where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed. Interest on loans in accrual status, including certain loans individually reviewed for impairment, is recognized in interest income as it accrues, on a daily basis. Accrued interest on loans in non-accrual status is reversed by a charge to interest income and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. Cash payments on loans in non-accrual status are applied to the oldest scheduled, unpaid payment first. Cash payments on loans with a partial charge-off are applied fully to principal, then to recovery of the charged off amount prior to interest income being recognized. A non-accrual loan is generally returned to accrual status when contractual payments are less than 90 days past due. However, a loan may remain in non-accrual status when collectability is uncertain, such as a TDR that has not met minimum payment requirements, a loan with a partial charge-off, an equity loan or line of credit with a delinquent first mortgage greater than 90 days, or a loan in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed. The number of days past due is determined by the number of scheduled payments that remain unpaid, assuming a period of 30 days between each scheduled payment. The recorded investment in loan receivables at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 is summarized in the following table. The table provides details of the recorded balances according to the method of evaluation used for determining the allowance for loan losses, distinguishing between determinations made by evaluating individual loans and determinations made by evaluating groups of loans not individually evaluated. Balances of recorded investments are adjusted for deferred loan fees or expenses and any applicable loans-in-process.

The analysis provides details of the allowance for loan losses according to the method of evaluation, distinguishing between allowances for loan losses determined by evaluating individual loans and allowances for loan losses determined by evaluating groups of loans collectively. December 31, 2015 September 30, 2015 Individually Collectively Total Individually Collectively Total Real estate loans: Residential Core $ 9,527 $ 10,941 $ 20,468 $ 9,354 $ 13,242 $ 22,596 Residential Home Today 4,345 5,507 9,852 4,166 5,831 9,997 Home equity loans and lines of credit 603 38,304 38,907 772 38,154 38,926 Construction — 14 14 26 9 35 Total $ 14,475 $ 54,766 $ 69,241 $ 14,318 $ 57,236 $ 71,554 At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , individually evaluated loans that required an allowance were comprised only of loans evaluated for impairment based on the present value of cash flows, such as performing TDRs, and loans with a further deterioration in the fair value of collateral not yet identified as uncollectible. All other individually evaluated loans received a charge-off, if applicable. Because many variables are considered in determining the appropriate level of general valuation allowances, directional changes in individual considerations do not always align with the directional change in the balance of a particular component of the general valuation allowance. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, allowances on individually reviewed loans evaluated for impairment based on the present value of cash flows, such as performing TDRs, were $14,424 and $14,117 . Residential Core mortgage loans represent the largest portion of the residential real estate portfolio. The Company believes overall credit risk is low based on the nature, composition, collateral, products, lien position and performance of the portfolio. The portfolio does not include loan types or structures that have historically experienced severe performance problems at other financial institutions (sub-prime, no documentation or pay option adjustable rate mortgages). As described earlier in this footnote, Home Today loans have greater credit risk than traditional residential real estate mortgage loans. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, approximately 32% and 34% of Home Today loans include private mortgage insurance coverage. The majority of the coverage on these loans was provided by PMI Mortgage Insurance Co., which was seized by the Arizona Department of Insurance and through March 31, 2015 paid all claim payments at 67% . In April 2015, the Association was notified that, in addition to a catch-up adjustment for prior claims, all future claims will be paid at 70% . Appropriate adjustments have been made to the Association’s affected valuation allowances and charge-offs, and estimated loss severity factors were adjusted accordingly for loans evaluated collectively. The amount of loans in our owned portfolio covered by mortgage insurance provided by PMIC as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, was $121,160 and $132,857 of which $111,066 and $122,025 was current. The amount of loans in our owned portfolio covered by mortgage insurance provided by Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, was $53,056 and $56,898 of which $52,631 and $56,295 was current. As of December 31, 2015 , MGIC's long-term debt rating, as published by the major credit rating agencies, did not meet the requirements to qualify as "high credit quality"; however, MGIC continues to make claims payments in accordance with its contractual obligations and the Association has not increased its estimated loss severity factors related to MGIC's claim paying ability. No other loans were covered by mortgage insurers that were deferring claim payments or which were assessed as being non-investment grade. Home equity loans and lines of credit represent a significant portion of the residential real estate portfolio, primarily comprised of home equity lines of credit. The state of the economy and low housing prices continue to have an adverse impact on a portion of this portfolio since the home equity lines generally are in a second lien position. Post-origination deterioration in economic and housing market conditions may also impact a borrower's ability to afford the higher payments required during the end of draw repayment period that follows the period of interest only payments on home equity lines of credit originated prior to 2012 or the ability to secure alternative financing. Beginning in February 2013, the terms on new home equity lines of credit included monthly principal and interest payments throughout the entire term to minimize the potential payment differential between the during draw and after draw periods. The Association originates construction loans to individuals for the construction of their personal single-family residence by a qualified builder (construction/permanent loans). The Association’s construction/permanent loans generally provide for disbursements to the builder or sub-contractors during the construction phase as work progresses. During the construction phase, the borrower only pays interest on the drawn balance. Upon completion of construction, the loan converts to a permanent amortizing loan without the expense of a second closing. The Association offers construction/permanent loans with fixed or adjustable rates, and a current maximum loan-to-completed-appraised value ratio of 80%. Other consumer loans are comprised of loans secured by certificate of deposit accounts, which are fully recoverable in the event of non-payment. The recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance of impaired loans, including those reported as TDRs, as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 are summarized as follows. Balances of recorded investments are adjusted for deferred loan fees or expenses.

For all classes of loans, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Association will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining that a loan is impaired may include the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower indicated by missed or delinquent payments, a pending legal action, such as bankruptcy or foreclosure, or the absence of adequate security for the loan. Charge-offs on residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and construction loans are recognized when triggering events, such as foreclosure actions, short sales, or deeds accepted in lieu of repayment, result in less than full repayment of the recorded investment in the loans. Partial or full charge-offs are also recognized for the amount of impairment on loans considered collateral dependent that meet the conditions described below. • For residential mortgage loans, payments are greater than 180 days delinquent; • For home equity lines of credit, equity loans, and residential loans restructured in a TDR, payments are greater than 90 days delinquent; • For all classes of loans, a sheriff sale is scheduled within 60 days to sell the collateral securing the loan; • For all classes of loans, all borrowers have been discharged of their obligation through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy; • For all classes of loans, within 60 days of notification, all borrowers obligated on the loan have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed; • For all classes of loans, a borrower obligated on a loan has filed bankruptcy and the loan is greater than 30 days delinquent, and • For all classes of loans, it becomes evident that a loss is probable. Collateral dependent residential mortgage loans and construction loans are charged off to the extent the recorded investment in a loan, net of anticipated mortgage insurance claims, exceeds the fair value less costs to dispose of the underlying property. Management can determine the loan is uncollectible for reasons such as foreclosures exceeding a reasonable time frame and recommend a full charge-off. Home equity loans or lines of credit are charged off to the extent the recorded investment in the loan plus the balance of any senior liens exceeds the fair value less costs to dispose of the underlying property or management determines the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the loan. A loan in any portfolio that is identified as collateral dependent will continue to be reported as impaired until it is no longer considered collateral dependent, is less than 30 days past due and does not have a prior charge-off. A loan in any portfolio that has a partial charge-off consequent to impairment evaluation will continue to be individually evaluated for impairment until, at a minimum, the impairment has been recovered. The following summarizes the effective dates of charge-off policies that changed or were first implemented during the current and previous four fiscal years and the portfolios to which those policies apply. Effective Date Policy Portfolio(s) Affected 6/30/2014 A loan is considered collateral dependent and any collateral shortfall is charged off when, within 60 days of notification, all borrowers obligated on a loan filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed (1) All 9/30/2012 Pursuant to an OCC directive, a loan is considered collateral dependent and any collateral shortfall is charged off when all borrowers obligated on a loan are discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy All 6/30/2012 Loans in any form of bankruptcy greater than 30 days past due are considered collateral dependent and any collateral shortfall is charged off All 12/31/2011 Pursuant to an OCC directive, impairment on collateral dependent loans previously reserved for in the allowance were charged off. Charge-offs are recorded to recognize confirmed collateral shortfalls on impaired loans (2) All ____________________________ (1) Prior to 6/30/2014, collateral shortfalls on loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy were charged off when all borrowers were discharged of the obligation or when the loan was 30 days or more past due. (2) Prior to 12/31/2011, partial charge-offs were not used, but a reserve in the allowance was established when the recorded investment in the loan exceeded the fair value of the collateral less costs to dispose. Individual loans were only charged off when a triggering event occurred, such as a foreclosure action was culminated, a short sale was approved, or a deed was accepted in lieu of repayment. Loans restructured in TDRs that are not evaluated based on collateral are separately evaluated for impairment on a loan by loan basis at the time of restructuring and at each subsequent reporting date for as long as they are reported as TDRs. The impairment evaluation is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan. Expected future cash flows include a discount factor representing a potential for default. Valuation allowances are recorded for the excess of the recorded investments over the result of the cash flow analysis. Loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy are reported as TDRs and also evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows unless evaluated based on collateral. We evaluate these loans using the expected future cash flows because we expect the borrower, not liquidation of the collateral, to be the source of repayment for the loan. Other consumer loans are not considered for restructuring. A loan restructured in a TDR is classified as an impaired loan for a minimum of one year. After one year, that loan may be reclassified out of the balance of impaired loans if the loan was restructured to yield a market rate for loans of similar credit risk at the time of restructuring and the loan is not impaired based on the terms of the restructuring agreement. No loans whose terms were restructured in TDRs were reclassified from impaired loans during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . The average recorded investment in impaired loans and the amount of interest income recognized during the period that the loans were impaired are summarized below. For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 2014 Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized With no related IVA recorded: Residential Core $ 60,931 $ 369 $ 72,542 $ 287 Residential Home Today 22,523 150 27,677 58 Home equity loans and lines of credit 21,940 64 25,498 72 Construction — — — — Total $ 105,394 $ 583 $ 125,717 $ 417 With an IVA recorded: Residential Core $ 56,696 $ 590 $ 58,785 $ 664 Residential Home Today 34,452 432 38,363 487 Home equity loans and lines of credit 11,353 77 8,145 67 Construction 213 — — — Total $ 102,714 $ 1,099 $ 105,293 $ 1,218 Total impaired loans: Residential Core $ 117,627 $ 959 $ 131,327 $ 951 Residential Home Today 56,975 582 66,040 545 Home equity loans and lines of credit 33,293 141 33,643 139 Construction 213 — — — Total $ 208,108 $ 1,682 $ 231,010 $ 1,635 Interest on loans in non-accrual status is recognized on a cash-basis. The amount of interest income on impaired loans recognized using a cash-basis method was $449 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and $277 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 . Cash payments on loans with a partial charge-off are applied fully to principal, then to recovery of the charged off amount prior to interest income being recognized. Interest income on the remaining impaired loans is recognized on an accrual basis. The recorded investment in TDRs by type of concession as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 is shown in the tables below.

Among other requirements, a subsequent restructuring may be available for a borrower upon the expiration of temporary restructuring terms if the borrower cannot return to regular loan payments. If the borrower is experiencing an income curtailment that temporarily has reduced his/her capacity to repay, such as loss of employment, reduction of hours, non-paid leave or short term disability, a temporary restructuring is considered. If the borrower lacks the capacity to repay the loan at the current terms due to a permanent condition, a permanent restructuring is considered. In evaluating the need for a subsequent restructuring, the borrower’s ability to repay is generally assessed utilizing a debt to income and cash flow analysis. As the economy slowly improves, the need for multiple restructurings continues to linger. Loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy are classified as multiple restructurings if the loan's original terms had also been restructured by the Association. For all loans restructured during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (set forth in the table below), the pre-restructured outstanding recorded investment was not materially different from the post-restructured outstanding recorded investment.

Pass loans are assets well protected by the current paying capacity of the borrower. Special Mention loans have a potential weakness that the Association feels deserve management’s attention and may result in further deterioration in their repayment prospects and/or the Association’s credit position. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current payment capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged with a defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. Also included in Substandard are performing home equity loans and lines of credit where the customer has a severely delinquent first mortgage to which the performing home equity loan or line of credit is subordinate and loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed. Loss loans are considered uncollectible and are charged off when identified. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, the recorded investment of impaired loans includes $100,973 and $103,390 of TDRs that are individually evaluated for impairment, but have adequately performed under the terms of the restructuring and are classified as Pass loans. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively, there were $8,596 and $8,094 of loans classified substandard and $4,724 and $4,279 of loans designated special mention that are not included in the recorded investment of impaired loans; rather, they are included in loans collectively evaluated for impairment. Other consumer loans are internally assigned a grade of nonperforming when they become 90 days or more past due. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , no consumer loans were graded as nonperforming.
