ended September 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $28,296,000 and $38,565,000, respectively. Interest income recognized on total impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $1,331,000 and $1,326,000, respectively. For nonaccrual loans included in impaired loans, the interest income that would have been recognized had those loans been performing in accordance with their original terms would have been approximately $605,000 and $778,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Troubled Debt Restructurings The Company has allocated approximately $214,000 and $538,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company has no additional lending commitments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. A TDR on nonaccrual status is classified as a nonaccrual loan until evaluation supports reasonable assurance of repayment and of performance according to the modified terms of the loan. Once this assurance is reached, the TDR is classified as a restructured loan. There were no unfunded commitments on these loans at September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014. The following table presents the TDRs by loan class at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands): Non-Accrual Restructured and Accruing Total September 30, 2015 Agricultural loans $ 554 $ — $ 554 Commercial real estate loans 2,482 488 2,970 Commercial loans 239 129 368 Residential real estate loans — — — Installment and consumer other — — — Total $ 3,275 $ 617 $ 3,892 December 31, 2014 Agricultural loans $ — $ — $ — Commercial real estate loans 2,571 542 3,113 Commercial loans — 304 304 Residential real estate loans 1,156 — 1,156 Installment and consumer other — — — Total $ 3,727 $ 846 $ 4,573 Credit Quality Indicators The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes agricultural, commercial, and commercial real estate loans individually by classifying the credits as to credit risk. The process of analyzing loans for changes in risk rating is ongoing through routine monitoring of the portfolio and annual internal credit reviews for credits with total exposure in excess of $300,000. The Company uses the following definitions for credit risk ratings: Sound. Credits classified as sound show very good probability of ongoing ability to meet and/or exceed obligations. Acceptable. Credits classified as acceptable show a good probability of ongoing ability to meet and/or exceed obligations. Satisfactory. Credits classified as satisfactory show fair probability of ongoing ability to meet and/or exceed obligations. Low Satisfactory . Credits classified as low satisfactory show fair probability of ongoing ability to meet and/or exceed obligations. Low satisfactory credits may be newer or have less of an established track record of financial performance, inconsistent earnings, or may be going through an expansion. Watch. Credits classified as watch show some questionable probability of ongoing ability to meet and/or exceed obligations. Special Mention. Credits classified as special mention show potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard . Credits classified as substandard generally have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They have a distinct possibility that a loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful. Credits classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable. The Company categorizes residential real estate, installment and consumer other loans as satisfactory at the time of origination based on information obtained as to the ability of the borrower(s) to service their debt, such as current financial information, employment status and history, historical payment experience, credit scores and type and amount of collateral among other factors. The Company updates relevant information on these types of loans at the time of refinance, troubled debt restructuring or other indications of financial difficulty, downgrading as needed using the same category descriptions as for agricultural, commercial, and commercial real estate loans. In addition, the Company further considers current payment status as an indicator of which risk category to assign the borrower. The greater the level of deteriorated risk as indicated by a loan’s assigned risk category, the greater the likelihood a loss will occur in the future. If the loan is impaired then the loan loss reserves for the loan is recorded at the loss level of impairment. If the loan is not impaired, then its loan loss reserves are determined by the application of a loss rate that increases with risk in accordance with the allowance for loan loss analysis. Based on the most recent analysis performed by management, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands): As of September 30, 2015 Sound/ Acceptable/ Satisfactory/ Low Satisfactory Watch Special Mention Substandard Total Loans Agricultural loans $ 407,488 $ 37,940 $ 3,139 $ 20,599 $ 469,166 Commercial real estate loans 123,301 13,782 4,664 5,891 147,638 Commercial loans 40,435 5,459 1,463 5,240 52,597 Residential real estate loans 26,527 4,579 3,203 17 34,326 Installment and consumer other 302 — — — 302 Total $ 598,053 $ 61,760 $ 12,469 $ 31,747 $ 704,029 As of December 31, 2014 Sound/ Acceptable/ Satisfactory/ Low Satisfactory Watch Special Mention Substandard Total Loans Agricultural loans $ 342,598 $ 59,078 $ 2,591 $ 10,897 $ 415,164 Commercial real estate loans 104,609 23,540 6,327 3,041 137,517 Commercial loans 36,205 7,568 1,062 8,910 53,745 Residential real estate loans 29,738 6,288 2,863 1,996 40,885 Installment and consumer other 811 — — — 811 Total $ 513,961 $ 96,474 $ 12,843 $ 24,844 $ 648,122 |
