Total assets decreased $199.7 million to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011. Contributing to the change was a decrease in net loans of $278.9 million and a decrease in real estate owned and other repossessed assets of $13.3 million, which were offset partially by an increase in available for sale securities of $92.2 million.
The level of assets was affected by Home Savings' successful completion of a bulk sale of a substantial amount of the Bank's troubled loans, along with other assets, to an unrelated party on September 30, 2012. Total assets included in the bulk sale had an unpaid principal balance of $147.8 million as of the closing date, comprised of loans with an unpaid principal balance of $146.7 million and other real estate owned with a principal balance of $1.1 million. The loans included in the bulk sale had a book balance as of the closing date of $113.7 million. Of these loans, $91.6 million were classified, $63.3 million were nonperforming and $53.0 million were noncurrent (all figures are book balance prior to the effect of any reserves). The loans included in the bulk sale had reserves totaling $8.0 million, for a net book balance of $105.7 million. Together with the other real estate owned included in the sale, the net book balance of the assets included in the bulk sale totaled $106.8 million. The Bank received $77.4 million in cash for these assets.
In the first nine months of 2012, the Company sold approximately $281.8 million in securities, recognizing $5.2 million in net gains on the sales. The Company also purchased securities with a face value of $424.9 million to replace the securities sold during the period and to replace loan balances that continued to decline. Maturities, paydowns and the change in the unrealized gain on the portfolio also contributed to the change in the size of the securities portfolio.
Net loans decreased $278.9 million during the first nine months of 2012. The primary source of the decrease was a bulk asset sale completed in the third quarter of 2012. The loans associated with this sale had an unpaid principal balance of $113.7 million. Chargeoffs in excess of reserves for this transaction aggregated $30.2 million. The discussion below, including impaired loans, troubled debt restructured loans and nonperforming loans each include the impact of the asset sale.
The following table summarizes the trend in the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2012:

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses established through a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense. The allowance for loan losses decreased to $20.0 million at September 30, 2012, from $42.3 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $22.2 million. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.79% at September 30, 2012, compared to 2.79% at December 31, 2011. However, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 43.06% at September 30, 2012, compared to 34.34% at December 31, 2011, due to the decrease in nonperforming loans following the bulk asset sale described above. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are added back to the allowance. Home Savings' allowance for loan loss methodology includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 310, "Receivables," and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, "Contingencies". Accordingly, the methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade applied to specific risk pools, plus specific loss allocations and adjustments for current events and conditions. Reserves from loans included in the asset sale mentioned above were treated as charges against the allowance in the third quarter of 2012. The ASC 310 reserve, or where applicable the ASC 450 reserve, as it related to loans included in the bulk asset sale were treated as chargeoffs in the ASC 450 methodology of determining loan loss ratios. Home Savings' process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for possible loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs. The provision for possible loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, classified loans and net chargeoffs or recoveries, among other factors.
The decrease in the allowance for loan losses in the first nine months of 2012 was primarily a result of net chargeoffs associated with loans sold in the bulk asset sale and more specifically, nonresidential real estate. At September 30, 2012, the allowance assigned to the permanent nonresidential real estate portfolio aggregated $3.9 million, a decrease of $12.9 million from the previous year-end.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the level of net loans charged off, excluding chargeoffs from the bulk asset sale, exceeded the loan loss provision by approximately $18.2 million. Timing differences can exist between the period in which an initial provision is recognized and the subsequent period in which the loss is confirmed and the resulting chargeoff recognized. As a result, in any given period, it is possible to have chargeoffs exceed the provision for loan losses in the various loan categories. All major categories had the level of chargeoffs exceed the provision recognized in the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2012, certain loans were charged off where reserves were established in a previous period.
Net chargeoffs exceeded the loan loss provision by $12.9 million in the nonresidential real estate category. This was impacted by the level of outstanding loans in the category, which declined by $125.5 million since December 31, 2011, thereby reducing the needed level of the allowance for loan losses. The primary reason for this decline in loans was the bulk asset sale mentioned above. Also affecting the comparison was the resolution of one commercial loan relationship consisting of seven loans, which represented the Company's largest classified loan relationship, in the second quarter of 2012. Five of the seven loans in this relationship were nonresidential loans. The resolution of this loan relationship resulted in a $20.8 million decline in loan principal balances. Based on facts and circumstances that occurred in the second quarter of 2012, a chargeoff of $5.9 million in nonresidential loans was recognized in the second quarter as a part of this resolution. Reserves of $1.1 million were established on these specific loans in prior periods, resulting in a net loss of $4.8 million in the second quarter. Of the remaining $5.1 million in nonresidential chargeoffs, reserves of $7.9 million had been established in prior periods.
Accordingly, as a result of adequate reserves being established in previous periods, a decline in principal balances outstanding and changes in historical loss factors at September 30, 2012, the required level of allowance for loan loss and provision for loan loss has declined. The following table summarizes the affect the bulk loan sale had on the loan portfolio.

A non-homogeneous loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Home Savings will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the strength of guarantors (if any). Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or, in rare cases, by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the market value of the loan. The following table summarizes the change in impaired loans during the first nine months of 2012.

The decrease in impaired loans can be largely attributed to the bulk asset sale and, to a lesser extent, the resolution of loans through principal payments, charge offs, sale of the loan or collateral, or by Home Savings taking possession of the collateral. The decline in impaired loans attributable to the bulk asset sale aggregated $76.1 million.
Included in impaired loans above are certain loans Home Savings considers to be troubled debt restructurings (TDR). A loan is considered a TDR if Home Savings grants a concession to the debtor that it would otherwise not consider. The concession either stems from an agreement between the creditor and the debtor or is imposed by law or a court. If the debtor is not currently experiencing financial difficulties, but would probably be in payment default in the future without the modification, then this type of restructure also could be considered a TDR.
A TDR may include, but is not necessarily limited to, one or a combination of the following:
• Modification of the terms of a debt, such as one or a combination of:
• Reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the loan;
• Extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk;
• Reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the loan as stated in the instrument or other agreement; or
• Reduction of accrued interest.
• Transfer from the borrower to Home Savings of receivables from third parties, real estate, or other assets to fully or partially satisfy a debt (including a transfer resulting from foreclosure or repossession).
• Issuance or other granting of an equity interest to Home Savings by the borrower to satisfy fully or partially a loan unless the equity interest is granted pursuant to existing terms for converting the debt into an equity interest.
A debt restructuring is not necessarily a TDR for purposes of this definition even if the borrower is experiencing some financial difficulties. A TDR is not involved if:
• the fair value of cash, other assets, or an equity interest accepted by Home Savings from a borrower in full satisfaction of its loan at least equals the recorded investment in the loan;
• the fair value of cash, other assets, or an equity interest transferred by a borrower to Home Savings in full settlement of its loan at least equals the carrying amount of the loan;
• Home Savings reduces the effective interest rate on the loan primarily to reflect a decrease in market interest rates in general or a decrease in the risk so as to maintain a relationship with a borrower that can readily obtain funds from other sources at the current market interest rate; or
• Home Savings issues, in exchange for the original loan, a new marketable loan having an effective interest rate based on its market price that is at or near the current market interest rates of loans with similar maturity dates and stated interest rates issued by other banks.
The change in TDRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is as follows:
