[1] The provision for loan losses excluded a $170,000 increase and $220,000 decrease in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The total provision for credit losses, comprised of allocations for both funded and unfunded loans, was a negative $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
[2] The unallocated allowance, which was approximately 5% and 6% of the total allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively, was, in the opinion of management, reasonable and appropriate given that the estimates used in the allocation process are inherently imprecise.
