During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Bank recognized $322,000 in gains on the sale of OREO which consisted of the sale of eight properties for net proceeds of $3.7 million, which included the financing of $1.0 million dollars on a residential subdivision that was transferred from OREO to loans during the fourth quarter of 2014. The contracted sales price of $1.4 million on the residential subdivision qualified for full accrual sales treatment under ASC Topic 360-20-40 “Property Plant and Equipment – Derecognition”.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Bank recognized $179,000 in gains on the sale of OREO which consisted of the sale of six properties for net proceeds of $1.3 million and net losses of $46,000 and the recognition of $225,000 of previously deferred gain from an OREO property that the Bank financed during 2011 that did not initially qualify for full accrual sales treatment. The Bank utilized the cost recovery method (ASC Topic 360-20-40 “Property Plant and Equipment – Derecognition”) to account for the sale.
