Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not material during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 impaired loans included approximately $11.0 million and $11.5 million of loans in accruing status that were identified as TDR’s in accordance with regulatory guidance related to Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans, respectively. 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 9/30/2017 Three months ended 9/30/2016 New York and other states*: Pre-Modification Post-Modification Pre-Modification Post-Modification (dollars in thousands) Number of Outstanding Outstanding Number of Outstanding Outstanding Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - - $ - - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 7 $ 941 $ 941 7 $ 655 $ 655 Home equity loans - - - 1 44 44 Home equity lines of credit 3 296 296 2 183 183 Total 10 $ 1,237 $ 1,237 10 $ 882 $ 882 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Number of Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - - $ - - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 2 $ 251 $ 251 - $ - $ - Home equity loans - - - - - - Home equity lines of credit - - - - - - Total 2 $ 251 $ 251 - $ - $ - Nine months ended 9/30/2017 Nine months ended 9/30/2016 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 Commercial: Commercial real estate 3 $ 747 $ 747 - $ - $ - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 25 $ 3,986 3,986 27 $ 2,383 2,383 Home equity loans 1 13 13 1 44 44 Home equity lines of credit 8 457 457 10 316 316 Total 37 $ 5,203 $ 5,203 38 $ 2,743 $ 2,743 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Recorded Investment Post-Modification Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Recorded Investment Post-Modification Recorded Investment Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - - $ - - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 7 $ 718 $ 718 2 $ 408 $ 408 Home equity loans - - - 1 45 45 Home equity lines of credit 1 70 70 1 6 6 Total 8 $ 788 $ 788 4 $ 459 $ 459 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 which had been modified within the last twelve months: Three months ended 9/30/2017 Three months ended 9/30/2016 New York and other states*: Number of Recorded Number of Recorded Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 2 $ 236 - $ - Home equity lines of credit - - - - Total 2 $ 236 - $ - Florida: (dollars in thousands) Number of Recorded Number of Recorded Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - $ - - $ - Total - $ - - $ - Nine months ended 9/30/2017 Nine months ended 9/30/2016 New York and other states*: Number of Recorded Number of Recorded Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 2 $ 236 1 $ 107 Home equity loans - - - - Home equity lines of credit 1 3 - - Total 3 $ 239 1 $ 107 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Number of Recorded Number of Recorded Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 1 $ 77 - $ - Home equity lines of credit 1 $ 70 1 $ 46 Total 2 $ 147 1 $ 46 The TDR’s that subsequently defaulted described above did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses. The Company categorizes non-homogenous 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows: September 30, 2017 New York and other states: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 142,390 9,838 152,228 Other 20,154 1,600 21,754 $ 162,544 11,438 173,982 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 12,980 - 12,980 Other 319 - 319 $ 13,299 - 13,299 Total: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 155,370 9,838 165,208 Other 20,473 1,600 22,073 $ 175,843 11,438 187,281 December 31, 2016 New York and other states: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 136,676 14,690 151,366 Other 25,442 2,097 27,539 $ 162,118 16,787 178,905 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 12,243 - 12,243 Other 46 - 46 $ 12,289 - 12,289 Total: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 148,919 14,690 163,609 Other 25,488 2,097 27,585 $ 174,407 16,787 191,194 Included in classified loans in the above tables are non-accrual loans of $1.2 million and $1.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is included in the aging of the recorded investment of the past due loans table. In addition, the total nonperforming portion of these homogeneous loan pools as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is presented in the non-accrual loans table. |
