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. The combination of the higher than normal decline in loan balances due to loan payoffs and competitive interest rate environment during the quarter coupled with historical loss levels decreasing caused a negative provision for loan loss for several loan segments offset by $500,000 provision related to commercial real estate segment affected allowance for loan loss balances related to loans collectively evaluated for impairment. 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. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Bank recorded a specific reserve related one of its performing troubled debt restructured (“TDR”), commercial real estate loans, based on updated borrowers’ information received in January 2020. As a result the Bank began to review the loan for modification of the existing structure. The property and loan are performing and have a positive payment history, in accordance with the loan terms. As the current modification is not yet finalized, the Bank has performed an updated impairment analysis on the loan and recorded a specific impairment of approximately 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, 2019 and September 30, 2019.

At December 31, 2019, these loans were also classified as impaired. Twenty-one of the TDR loans continue to perform under the restructured terms through December 31, 2019 and we continued to accrue interest on such loans through such date. Loans that have been classified as TDRs have modified 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 TDR 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 cases 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 Financial 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 $231,000 and $111,000 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 (In thousands) December 31, 2019: Residential mortgage 17 $ 3,531 4 $ 1,071 Commercial: Commercial real estate 4 9,961 - - Consumer: Second mortgages 4 177 - - Total 25 $ 13,669 $ 4 $ 1,071 September 30, 2019: Residential mortgage 17 $ 3,372 4 $ 1,090 Commercial: Commercial real estate 3 9,707 - - Consumer: Second mortgages 4 181 - - Total 24 $ 13,260 4 $ 1,090 The following table reports the performing status of all TDR loans.
