For non-performing commercial real estate loans, an individually evaluated allowance is calculated based on the loan's fair value and if the fair value is higher than the individual loan balance, no allowance is required. A restructured loan is a loan which the Corporation, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Corporation would not otherwise consider. The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower’s financial difficulty, include but are not limited to: ● A reduction in the stated interest rate; ● An extension of the maturity at an interest rate below market; ● A reduction in the accrued interest; and ● Extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites.

At both June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, there was no REO.

The recovery from the allowance for loan losses in fiscal 2022 was primarily due to an improvement in the forecasted economic metrics utilized in the qualitative component adjustment to the allowance for loan losses reflecting improved general economic conditions and recoveries from the allowance for loan losses from non-performing loans and classified loans that were upgraded or paid off, partly offset by an increase in loans held for investment.
The provision reflected in fiscal 2023 was primarily due to a higher outstanding balance of loans held for investment, while the recovery from the allowance for loan losses in fiscal 2022 was primarily due to an improvement in the qualitative component adjustment to the allowance for loan losses reflecting improved general economic conditions and recoveries from the allowance for loan losses from non-performing loans and classified loans that were upgraded or paid off, partly offset by an increase in loans held for investment. Non-performing assets, comprised solely of non-performing loans (net of the collectively evaluated allowances and individually evaluated allowances) during fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, was $1.3 million at June 30, 2023, down $123,000 or 9% from $1.4 million at June 30, 2022.

Total non-interest income was $4.7 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of $143,000 or 3% from $4.6 million in fiscal 2021.
Total non-interest expense was $28.3 million in fiscal 2023, an increase of $2.4 million or 9% from $25.9 million in fiscal 2022.
