Of the $28.3 million in real estate construction loans at September 30, 2015, approximately $12.0 million are secured by first mortgages to residential borrowers while approximately $16.3 million were to commercial borrowers for residential construction projects. Of the $38.5 million in real estate construction loans at December 31, 2014, approximately $17.6 million are secured by first mortgages to residential borrowers while approximately $20.9 million were to commercial borrowers for residential construction projects. The vast majority of construction loans are in the Company’s New York market. TrustCo lends in the geographic territory of its branch locations in New York, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, a portion of its debtors’ ability to repay depends significantly on the economic conditions prevailing in the respective geographic territory.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is restructured as a TDR.

Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not material during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 impaired loans included approximately $11.2 million and $9.9 million of 1 to 4 family residential real estate loans in accruing status that were identified as TDR’s in accordance with regulatory guidance related to Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans. Management evaluates impairment on impaired loans on a quarterly basis. If, during this evaluation, impairment of the loan is identified, a charge off is taken at that time. As a result, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, based upon management’s evaluation and due to the sufficiency of chargeoffs taken, none of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated to a specific impaired loan(s).

In situations where the Bank considers a loan modification, management determines whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by performing an evaluation of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s underwriting policy. Generally, the modification of the terms of loans was the result of the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection. Chapter 13 bankruptcies generally include the deferral of all past due amounts for a period of generally 60 months in accordance with the bankruptcy court order. In the case of Chapter 7 bankruptcies, as previously noted, even though there is no modification of terms, the borrowers’ debt to the Company was discharged and they did not reaffirm the debt. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. In situations involving a borrower filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, however, a loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due, consistent with the treatment by the bankruptcy court. The following table presents, by class, TDR’s that defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 which had been modified within the last twelve months: Three months ended 9/30/2015 Three months ended 9/30/2014 New York and other states*: Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment (dollars in thousands) Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 1 $ 121 2 $ 203 Total 1 $ 121 2 $ 203 Florida: Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment (dollars in thousands) Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - $ - 1 $ 60 Total - $ - 1 $ 60 Nine months ended 9/30/2015 Nine months ended 9/30/2014 New York and other states*: Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment (dollars in thousands) Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 1 $ 121 6 $ 509 Total 1 $ 121 6 $ 509 Florida: Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment (dollars in thousands) Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - $ - 1 $ 60 Home equity lines of credit 1 $ 50 1 $ 279 Total 1 $ 50 2 $ 339 The TDR’s that subsequently defaulted described above did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. On at least an annual basis, the Company’s loan grading process analyzes non‐homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans, individually by grading the loans based on credit risk. Homogeneous loans, such as residential 1‐to‐4 family loans and installment loans, are also assigned loan grades based primarily on the delinquent status of the loan. The loan grades assigned to all loan types are tested by the Company’s internal loan review department in accordance with the Company’s internal loan review policy. The Company uses the following definitions for classified loans: Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be “satisfactory” or “pass” rated loans. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows: September 30, 2015 New York and other states: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 155,836 14,349 170,185 Other 22,036 740 22,776 $ 177,872 15,089 192,961 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 15,734 - 15,734 Other 99 - 99 $ 15,833 - 15,833 Total: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 171,570 14,349 185,919 Other 22,135 740 22,875 $ 193,705 15,089 208,794 December 31, 2014 New York and other states: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 162,589 12,199 174,788 Other 28,677 523 29,200 $ 191,266 12,722 203,988 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 19,336 - 19,336 Other 58 - 58 $ 19,394 - 19,394 Total: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 181,925 12,199 194,124 Other 28,735 523 29,258 $ 210,660 12,722 223,382 Included in classified loans in the above tables are impaired loans of $3.7 million and $4.1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For homogeneous loan pools, such as residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and installment loans, the Company uses payment status to identify the credit risk in these loan portfolios. Payment status is reviewed on a daily basis by the Bank’s collection area and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
