The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for loan credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company may provide concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to minimize the economic loss and improve long-term loan performance and collectability. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. The Company made one loan modification to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding principal balance of the loan was $1.5 million which represents 0.13% of the Real Estate Loans - Commercial loan segment. The loan was modified to provide a combination of interest rate and term extension. As of September 30, 2024, this loan was current and paying in accordance with the modified terms. The Company did not make any loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 Unfunded Commitments The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $1.0 million and $0.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The provision for credit losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in unfunded commitments. The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
