The estimation of credit losses is not precise; the range of factors considered is wide and is significantly dependent upon management’s judgment, including the outlook and potential changes in the economic environment. At present, components of the commercial loan segments of the portfolio are new originations and the associated volumes continue to see increased growth. At the same time, historical loss levels have decreased as factors in assessing the portfolio. The combination of these factors has given rise to an increase in the unallocated level within the allowance. Any unallocated portion of the allowance in conjunction with the quarterly review and changes to the qualitative factors to adjust for the risk due to current economic conditions, reflects management’s estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, regulatory requirements, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. The following table presents impaired loans in portfolio by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018.

Interest income that would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms was approximately $79,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by whether a loan payment is “current,” that is, it is received from a borrower by the scheduled due date, or the length of time a scheduled payment is past due.

At December 31, 2018, these loans were also classified as impaired. Eighteen of the TDR loans continue to perform under the restructured terms through December 31, 2018 and we continued to accrue interest on such loans through such date. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on December 14, 2018, one TDR with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $7.0 million ceased to perform under modified terms and as a result the Company accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. D The Company had a $1.5 million provision for loan losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to $125,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Provision expense was higher during the first quarter fiscal 2019 due primarily to the TDR commercial real estate loan write-down of approximately $1.2 million noted above and continued growth in the commercial loan portfolio during the quarter. At the same time the Company added a new qualitative factor, defined as Regulatory Oversight, to its allowance methodology to address the difference in the required allowance based on asset quality and the directionally consistent level of the allowance. Unique to the other factors, this is a single calculation figure which is subsequently applied to the loan portfolio by loan type (Commercial, Residential and Consumer) based upon the percent of each to total loans. It is derived from a review of a peer group consisting of 10 banks with similar asset size within the same general geographic area of Malvern Bank. This new factor amounted for an additional $390,000 added to the provision for the period. Primarily, as a result of this transfer to other real estate owned, TDR loans at December 31, 2018 decreased by $6.2 million compared to September 30, 2018 and total non-performing assets at December 31, 2018 increased by $6.1 million compared to September 30, 2018. All of such loans have been classified as TDRs since we modified the payment terms and in some cases interest rate from the original agreements and allowed the borrowers, who were experiencing financial difficulty, to make interest only payments for a period of time in order to relieve some of their overall cash flow burden. Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and could result in potential incremental losses. These potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the allowance for loan losses. The level of any defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions. A default on a troubled debt restructured loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when the borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred. TDRs may arise in which, due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, the Company obtains through physical possession one or more collateral assets in satisfaction of all or part of an existing credit. Once possession is obtained, the Company reclassifies the appropriate portion of the remaining balance of the credit from loans to other real estate owned (“OREO”), which is included within other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. For any residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, the Company is considered to possess the related collateral only if legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the Company through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. Excluding OREO, the Company had $2.1 million and $1.4 million Total Troubled Debt Restructurings Troubled Debt Restructured Loans That Have Defaulted on Modified Terms Within The Past 12 Months Number of Loans Recorded Investment Number of Loans Recorded Investment (Dollars in thousands) At December 31, 2018: Residential mortgage 14 $ 2,537 4 $ 500 Construction and Development: Land 1 72 - - Commercial: Commercial real estate 3 9,830 - - Consumer: Second mortgages 4 225 - - Total 22 $ 12,664 $ 4 $ 500 At September 30, 2018: Residential mortgage 10 $ 1,816 3 $ 289 Construction and Development: Land 1 76 - - Commercial: Commercial real estate 4 16,889 - - Consumer: Second mortgages 3 148 - - Total 18 $ 18,929 3 $ 289 The following table reports the performing status of all TDR loans.
