Of the $23.4 million in real estate construction loans at March 31, 2016, approximately $13.6 million are secured by first mortgages to residential borrowers while approximately $9.8 million were to commercial borrowers for residential construction projects. Of the $26.6 million in real estate construction loans at December 31, 2015, approximately $16.0 million are secured by first mortgages to residential borrowers while approximately $10.6 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.

As a result, non-accrual loans include all loans 90 days or more past due as well as certain loans less than 90 days past due that were placed on non-accrual status for reasons other than delinquent status. There are no commitments to extend further credit on non-accrual or restructured loans.

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.

TDR’s at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is considered collateral dependent.

Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 impaired loans included approximately $10.0 million and $10.6 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 chargeoff is taken at that time. As a result, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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). The following table presents, by class, loans that were modified as TDR’s: Three months ended 3/31/2016 Three months ended 3/31/2015 New York and other states*: Pre-Modification Post-Modification Pre-Modification Post-Modification (dollars in thousands) Number of Contracts Outstanding Recorded Investment Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Outstanding Recorded Investment Outstanding Recorded Investment Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 12 $ 1,270 $ 1,270 11 $ 2,240 $ 2,240 Home equity loans - - - 1 10 10 Home equity lines of credit 4 103 103 1 50 50 Total 16 $ 1,373 $ 1,373 13 $ 2,300 $ 2,300 Florida: Pre-Modification Post-Modification Pre-Modification Post-Modification (dollars in thousands) Number of Contracts Outstanding Recorded Investment Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Outstanding Recorded Investment Outstanding Recorded Investment Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 2 $ 245 $ 245 1 $ 157 $ 157 Home equity lines of credit - - - 2 50 50 Total 2 $ 245 $ 245 3 $ 207 $ 207 The addition of these TDR’s did not have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses. In situations where the Company 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 months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 which had been modified within the last twelve months: Three months ended 3/31/2016 Three months ended 3/31/2015 New York and other states*: (dollars in thousands) Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - $ - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 2 $ 101 - $ - Home equity lines of credit 1 48 - - Total 3 $ 149 - $ - Florida: (dollars in thousands) Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - $ - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - $ - - $ - Home equity lines of credit - $ - 1 $ 50 Total - $ - 1 $ 50 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. 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 “pass” rated loans. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows: March 31, 2016 New York and other states: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 145,254 14,532 159,786 Other 23,791 730 24,521 $ 169,045 15,262 184,307 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 14,372 - 14,372 Other 86 - 86 $ 14,458 - 14,458 Total: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 159,626 14,532 174,158 Other 23,877 730 24,607 $ 183,503 15,262 198,765 December 31, 2015 New York and other states: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 145,335 15,630 160,965 Other 26,715 734 27,449 $ 172,050 16,364 188,414 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 14,908 - 14,908 Other 93 - 93 $ 15,001 - 15,001 Total: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 160,243 15,630 175,873 Other 26,808 734 27,542 $ 187,051 16,364 203,415 Included in classified loans in the above tables are impaired loans of $2.8 million and $3.0 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 Company’s collection area and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The payment status of these homogeneous pools as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is included in the aging of the recorded investment of past due loans table. In addition, the total nonperforming portion of these homogeneous loan pools as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is presented in the non-accrual loans table. |
