The estimation of loan 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. Any unallocated portion of the allowance reflects management’s estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, 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 impaired loans with no specific allowance increased from $29.4 million at September 30, 2020 to $39.7 million at September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to two performing commercial real estate loans totaling $11.4 million that are deemed impaired with no specific allowance . The following table presents impaired loans in the 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 September 30, 2021, and 2020.

Total non-accrual loans exclude loans held-for-sale. Total non-accrual loans decreased from $16.7 million at September 2020 to $3.7 million as of September 30, 2021. The decrease in non-accrual loans was primarily due to one commercial real estate loans totaling $6.6 million returning to accrual status as of September 30,2021 and one commercial real estate loan $7.5 million transferred to loans held-for-sale for period ending September 30, 2021. Interest income that would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms was approximately $1.2 million 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. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories as of September 30, 2021 and 2020.

However, the Company generally only restructures loans by modifying the payment structure to require payments of interest only for a specified period or by reducing the actual interest rate. Once a loan becomes a TDR, it will continue to be reported as a TDR during the term of the restructure. The Company had 26 loans classified as TDRs with an aggregate outstanding balance of $18.2 million and $21.7 million at September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. At September 30, 2021, these loans were also classified as impaired. 22 of the TDR loans continue to perform under the restructured terms through September 30, 2021, and we continued to accrue interest on such loan through such date. The decrease in TDRs at September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020 was primarily due to a write down of $5.7 million on two commercial real estate loans that were transferred to held-for-sale, partially offset by the addition of one commercial loan secured by farmland totaling approximately $2.3 million. Loans that have been classified as TDRs have modified payment terms and in some cases modified interest rates from the original loan agreements and allow the borrowers, who were experiencing financial difficulty, to relieve some of their overall cash flow burden, including but not limited to making interest only payments for a period of time. Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and 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 occurs when the borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred. Note 7 - Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) Due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, TDRs may arise where 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 OREO, which is included 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 $185,000 and $175,000 of residential real estate properties in the process of foreclosure at September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

A summary of mortgage servicing rights included within other assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition and the activity therein follows for the periods indicated: September 30, 2021 2020 (In thousands) Balance at beginning of year $ 111 $ 178 Amortization (28 ) (67 ) Balance at end of year $ 83 $ 111 For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of servicing rights was determined using a base discount rate between 10.5 percent and 11.5 percent. The fair market value is evaluated by a third-party vendor on a quarterly basis for impairment purposes only. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, we sold $21.9 million of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans with servicing released. This transaction resulted in a gain of $788,000. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company only sold loans with servicing released. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, we sold $5.2 million of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans with servicing released. This transaction resulted in a gain of $116,000. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company only sold loans with servicing released. No valuation allowance on servicing rights has been recorded at September 30, 2021, or 2020. Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, and separately based upon regulatory guidance promulgated by federal banking regulators (collectively, the “Interagency Statement”), qualifying short-term loan modifications resulting in payment deferrals that are attributable to the adverse impact of COVID-19 are not considered to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). As such, the applicable loans are reported as current with regard to payment status and continue to accrue interest during the payment deferral period.
