2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The ASU amendments include changes related to how certain equity investments are measured, recognize changes in the fair value of certain financial liabilities measured under the fair value option, and disclose and present financial assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the ASU will also require entities to present financial assets and financial liabilities separately, grouped by measurement category and form of financial asset in the statement of financial position or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Entities will also no longer have to disclose the methods and significant assumptions for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, but will be required to measure such instruments under the “exit price” notion for disclosure purposes. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company assessed this amendment earlier this year and anticipates that it will have no material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Conforming Amendments Related to Leases”. This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. The ASU requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Upon implementation, lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the amendment but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment of its current leases, the impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is estimated to be less than a 1% increase in assets and liabilities.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial assets. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount of financial assets. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost basis is determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis; however, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Only subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a credit loss expense for these assets. Off-balance-sheet arrangements such as commitments to extend credit, guarantees, and standby letters of credit that and are not unconditionally cancellable are also within the scope of this amendment. Credit losses relating to debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019. An entity will apply the amendments in this update on a modified retrospective basis, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently assessing this accounting standard and the implementation of a new software program during 2018 to assist in determining the impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements. It is too early to assess the impact that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The amendments in this ASU clarify the proper classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments, including clarification on debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, among others. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the amendment but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendment in this ASU eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in order to measure a goodwill impairment charge. An entity will record an impairment charge based on the excess of the carrying amount over its fair value. This ASU is effective for fiscal and interim testing periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the amendment but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-8, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities”. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount does not change under the new guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the amendment but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
