New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements | Note 2—New Accounting Pronouncements In April 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, "Receivables (Topic 310)—A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring." The Update specifies that in order to constitute a restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must conclude that the restructuring constitutes a concession and that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendment clarifies the guidance on a creditor's evaluation of whether a concession is granted, whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, and whether the creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test when evaluating whether the restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this Update were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and were applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Adoption of this Update requires additional disclosure under ASU No 2010-20, "Receivables (Topic 310)—Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses." The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on First Commonwealth's financial condition or results of operations. There were no transition troubled debt restructured loans resulting from the issuance of this guidance as management's evaluation of restructured loans for periods ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, previously incorporated the considerations of the Update. In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, "Transferring and Servicing (Topic 860)—Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements," which removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion of 1) the measure requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and 2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that measure. All other criteria applicable to effective control remain unchanged by the amendments in the Update. This Update is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance is prospective and management does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on First Commonwealth's financial condition or results of operations. In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This Update changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. As a result, the highest and best use and valuation premise concept should be applied. This Update also amends particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value or disclosing relevant information. For example, the amendment allows for financial assets with applicable market and credit risk managed on a basis of net exposure to be excluded from the requirements of Topic 820. This Update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is prospective and management does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on First Commonwealth's financial condition or results of operations. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income," under which an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income, in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. If a separate statement is preferred, this statement should immediately follow the statement of net income and include components of other comprehensive income and a total for these items along with total comprehensive income. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05." Issuance of this ASU allows FASB time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While this deliberation is ensuing, companies should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. All other provisions are required to be adopted for fiscal and related interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The deferral of the aforementioned classifications is also effective for all fiscal and related interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is prospective and management does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on First Commonwealth's financial condition or results of operations. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, "Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment." This Update provides an entity with the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Conversely, if the opposite conclusion is reached, then the first step of the two-step approach must be performed. The Update provides examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in performing its qualitative assessment. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is prospective and management does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on First Commonwealth's financial condition or results of operations.
