Total recorded investment shown in the prior table will not equal the total ending balance of loans & leases individually evaluated for impairment on the allocation of allowance table. This is because the calculation of recorded investment takes into account charge-offs, net unamortized loan & lease fees & costs, unamortized premium or discount, and accrued interest. This table also excludes impaired loans that were previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring, are currently performing and are no longer disclosed or classified as TDR’s.

At December 31, 2014, the Company allocated $1.3 million of specific reserves to $6.6 million of troubled debt restructured loans, of which $5.0 million were performing. At December 31, 2013, the Company allocated $1.2 million of specific reserves to $6.8 million of troubled debt restructured loans, of which $4.6 million were performing. The Company had no commitments at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the period ending December 31, 2014, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for periods ranging from 4 to 30 years. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 6 months to 30 years.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructured loans for the period ended December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

	December 31, 2014
Troubled Debt Restructurings	Number of Loans		Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment
Residential 1st Mortgages		5	$	857	$	804
Home Equity Lines and Loans		3		98		89
Agricultural		1		32		32
Commercial		1		18		18
Consumer & Other		1		7		7
Total		11	$	1,012	$	950

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for credit losses by $28,000 and resulted in charge-offs of $63,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

During the period ended December 31, 2014, there were no payment defaults on loans modified as troubled debt restructurings within twelve months following the modification. The Company considers a loan to be in payment default once it is greater than 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

During the period ending December 31, 2013, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for periods of 5 years. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 6 months to 10 years.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructured loans for the period ended December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	December 31, 2013

Residential 1st Mortgages		4	$	306	$	290
Home Equity Lines and Loans		4		414		387
Commercial		4		5,016		5,016

The troubled debt restructurings described above did not increase the allowance for credit losses but did result in charge-offs of $43,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, there was one commercial loan with an outstanding balance of $174,000 that was previously modified as a troubled debt restructuring within the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. This defaulted loan did not increase the allowance for credit loss and did not result in any charge offs during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013.
