NOTE 24-NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

FASB ASU 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities"On January 31, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01 which provides scope clarifications related to the previously issued ASU 2011-11. These ASU's provide new requirements for disclosures about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position, as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendments in these updates are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as it does not have any material assets or liabilities that are offset as discussed in the standard.

FASB ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)"In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 requiring new disclosures about reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income. These disclosures may be presented on the face of the statements or in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. This ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. We have adopted this ASU and revised our disclosures, as seen in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

FASB ASU 2014-01, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects" In January 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-01 which revised the accounting for investments in qualified affordable housing projects. The ASU modifies the conditions that must be met to present the pretax effects and related tax benefits of such investments as a component of income taxes ("net" within income tax expense). This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU and therefore revised its Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented prior to the year ended December 31, 2013. The adoption of the ASU moved the amortization expense of its investment basis in the related investments to Income Tax Expense from Other Noninterest Expense. This resulted in a $0.9 million increase in Income Tax Expense and a corresponding decrease in Other Noninterest Expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
