The Company has allocated $2.0 million and $2.2 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings and that are in compliance with those terms as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company had no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company had three credits modified as troubled debt restructurings during 2015. Additionally, troubled debt restructurings increased as a result of the purchase of a previously-participated portion of a loan to a nonaffiliated bank during the first quarter of 2015. This loan was participated prior to it being restructured. The purchase price paid represented a discount of $482 thousand or 15% of the purchased principal amount. The loan is performing under the terms of the restructuring and the borrower’s financial position has steadily improved. Accretion of the discount was recognized over the contractual life of the loan, which ended in June 2015. There is no further accretion to be recognized. The total outstanding balance related to this credit, which was renewed during June 2015, was $11.4 million at June 30, 2015. This represents 46.9% of the Company’s total restructured loans and is the largest such individual credit. This credit was restructured in 2012 following an interest rate concession and extended amortization term.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during 2014.

The troubled debt restructurings identified above increased the allowance for loan losses by $356 thousand in the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively. There were no charge-offs related to these loans. There were no payment defaults during the first six months of 2015 or 2014 for credits that were restructured during the previous twelve months.

The tables below present an age analysis of past due loans 30 days or more by class of loans as of the dates indicated. Past due loans that are also classified as nonaccrual are included in their respective past due category.

The Company categorizes 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 and conditions. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes large-balance loans and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial real estate and certain residential real estate loans. Loan rating grades, as described further below, are assigned based on a continuous process. The amount and adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is determined on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for its risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the borrower’s repayment ability, weaken the collateral or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date. These credits pose elevated risk, but their weaknesses do not yet justify a substandard classification.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent of those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above which are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans, which are considered to have a low risk of loss. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows for the dates indicated. Each of the following tables excludes immaterial amounts attributed to accrued interest receivable.
