Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets [Text Block]	*NOTE 6. PURCHASE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS* On February 27, 2015, we purchased $6.4 million of commercial real estate loans. We are servicing the loans and they were purchased without recourse. We purchased a total par value of $6.4 million in loans with accrued interest at the settlement date of $17 thousand at a net premium of $91 thousand in exchange for a cash payment of $6.5 million. The fair value was equal to the price paid to acquire the portfolio as the difference between par value and cash purchase price represents the fair value adjustment. On September 23, 2014, we purchased $18.1 million of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans secured by first deeds of trust originated under the SBA 504 loan program. We are servicing the loans and were purchased without recourse. We purchased a total par value of $18.1 million in loans with accrued interest at the settlement date of $77 thousand at a net premium of $377 thousand in exchange for a cash payment of $18.5 million. The fair value was equal to the price paid to acquire the portfolio as the difference between the par value and cash purchase price represents the fair value adjustment. On May 12, 2014, we agreed to purchase $40.0 million of unsecured consumer home improvement loans. The loans were purchased without recourse or servicing rights. The agreement calls for purchases up to $4.0 million per month up to a maximum par value of $40.0 million. During 2015, we agreed to purchase an additional $10.0 million increasing the maximum par value to $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2015, we have paid cash totaling $66.7 million, and received cash repayments of $23.3 million for $43.4 million in net loans. We initially measured the acquired loan portfolio at a fair equal to the price paid to acquire the portfolio as the difference between the par value and cash purchase price represents the fair value adjustment. On February 27, 2014, we purchased a pool of residential solar panel loans secured by UCC filing with a par value of $12.9 million for a cash payment of $12.7 million. The loans and the related servicing were purchased without recourse. The fair value was equal to the price paid to acquire the portfolio as the difference between the par value and cash purchase price represents the fair value adjustment.
