At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no loans that were 90 days past due and still accruing interest. 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.

The Company has identified non-accrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, as well as all loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), as impaired 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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.

The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as impaired. Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 impaired loans included approximately $10.9 million and $11.1 million of 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 3/31/2019 Three months ended 3/31/2018 New York and other states*: Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment (dollars in thousands) Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - - $ - - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages 4 $ 656 656 4 $ 642 642 Home equity loans - - - - - - Home equity lines of credit - - - 3 240 240 Total 4 $ 656 $ 656 7 $ 882 $ 882 Florida: Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment (dollars in thousands) Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - - $ - - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - $ - - - $ - - Home equity loans - - - Home equity lines of credit - - - - - - Total - $ - - - $ - - * Includes New York, New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts. The addition of these TDR’s did not have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses. 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 months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 which had been modified within the last twelve months: Three months ended 3/31/2019 Three months ended 3/31/2018 New York and other states*: Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment (dollars in thousands) Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - $ - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - $ - - $ - Home equity lines of credit - - 1 3 Total - $ - 1 $ 3 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 - $ - 1 $ 72 Home equity lines of credit - - - - Total - $ - 1 $ 72 * Includes New York, New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts. The TDR’s that subsequently defaulted described above did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses. The Company categorizes commercial 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows: March 31, 2019 New York and other states*: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 148,784 3,947 152,731 Other 20,985 998 21,983 $ 169,769 4,945 174,714 Florida: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 15,386 - 15,386 Other 247 - 247 $ 15,633 - 15,633 Total: (dollars in thousands) Pass Classified Total Commercial: Commercial real estate $ 164,170 3,947 168,117 Other 21,232 998 22,230 $ 185,402 4,945 190,347 * Includes New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Included in classified loans in the above tables are impaired loans of $1.5 million and $1.4 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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. The payment status of these homogeneous pools as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is presented in the non-accrual loans table. |
