Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Company owns all of the stock of The Fauquier Bank (the “Bank”), which is an independent commercial bank chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, the Company owns Fauquier Statutory Trust II (“Trust II”), which is an unconsolidated subsidiary. The subordinated debt owed to Trust II is reported as a liability of the Company. The Bank provides a full range of financial services, including internet banking, mobile banking, commercial, retail, insurance, wealth management, and financial planning services through eleven banking offices throughout Fauquier and Prince William counties in Virginia.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and to the reporting guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies and practices.

On October 1, 2020, the Company and Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (“Virginia National”) announced a definitive agreement to combine in a strategic merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Virginia National (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the holders of shares of the Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.675 shares of Virginia National common stock for each share of the Company's common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, subject to approval of both companies' shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank; and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fauquier Bank Services, Inc. and Specialty Properties Acquisitions - VA, LLC (formed for the sole purpose of holding foreclosed property). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of other real estate owned, the valuation of deferred taxes and fair value measurements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications were material and none had an impact on net income.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods. The Company is required to maintain collateral against all loss positions in its interest rate swaps which are described in Note 16.

Investments in debt securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as either held to maturity, available for sale, or trading, based on management’s intent. Currently, all of the Company’s investment securities are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with the corresponding unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses are recognized in earnings on the trade date using the amortized cost of the specific security sold. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the specific identification method over the terms of the securities.

Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) the Company intends to sell the security or (ii) it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the Company must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company regularly reviews each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, the Company’s best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, the Company’s intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that the Company would be required to sell the security before recovery.

The Bank is required to maintain investments in the capital stock of certain correspondent banks. No readily available market exists for these investments and they have no quoted market value. These investments are recorded at cost and they are reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as restricted investments.

Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using current secondary market prices for loans with similar characteristics.

The Company makes mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. The Company’s recorded investment in loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally is reported at the unpaid principal balances adjusted for charges-offs, unearned discounts, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is credited to operations based on the principal amount outstanding. Loan fees and origination costs are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield using the interest method. The Company amortizes these amounts over the contractual life of the related loans.

The past due status of a loan is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans greater than 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it has adequate collateral to cover the principal and interest. For those loans that are carried on nonaccrual status, payments are first applied to the principal outstanding. A loan may be returned to accrual status if the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan and there is reasonable assurance the borrower will continue to make payments as agreed. These policies are applied consistently across the loan portfolio.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company 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 probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for these loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

A loan is considered a trouble debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a concession has been granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. TDRs are identified at the point when the borrower enters into a modification agreement. TDRs are considered impaired loans and are individually evaluated for impairment in the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectability of loan principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans while taking into consideration such factors as historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

•

Level 1 through 5 are loans with minimal to marginally acceptable risk (Pass)

•

Level 6 are loans with potential weaknesses identified (Special mention)

•

Level 7 are loans with well-defined weaknesses that may result in possible losses (Substandard)

•

Level 8 are loans that are unlikely to be repaid in full and will probably result in losses (Doubtful)

•

Level 9 are loans that will not be repaid in full and losses will occur (Loss)

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, and is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value, or the observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonimpaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors and is also maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. This includes an unallocated portion of the allowance which reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating general losses in the portfolio.

The Company has identified the following loan segments and risk characteristics in evaluating the allowance for loan losses:

•

Commercial and industrial – Commercial and industrial loans are made to small businesses and carry risks associated with management, industry and economic fluctuations that can impact cash flow, which is the primary source of repayment. Collateral for these loans is primarily business assets. This collateral can fluctuate in value based on market conditions and timing of sale.

•

Commercial real estate – Loans secured by commercial real estate carry risks associated with a cyclical industry that has economic and collateral value fluctuations. Commercial real estate lending is primarily limited to the Company's specific geographic market area of Fauquier and Prince William counties.

•

Construction and land – Real estate construction loans carry risks that the project will not be finished according to schedule, the project will not be finished according to budget and the value of the collateral may, at any point in time, be less than the principal amount of the loan.

•

Consumer – Consumer loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral (e.g., rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles), or lack thereof.

•

Student - Student loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower. Student loans are more likely to be immediately adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

•

Residential real estate – Residential real estate loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.

•

Home equity lines of credit – Home equity lines of credit carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.

Risk characteristics are evaluated for each portfolio segment by reviewing external factors such as: unemployment, new building permits, bankruptcies, foreclosures, economic conditions, competition and the regulatory environment. Internal risk characteristics evaluated include: lender turnover, lender experience, lending policy changes, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral, risk rating adjustments, loan concentrations, and loan review analysis.

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 39 years; leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement, whichever is less. Software is amortized over its estimated useful life ranging from 3 to 5 years. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on the straight-line method. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in connection with leases in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less. A lease liability represents the Company obligation to make future payments under lease contracts, and a right-of-use asset represents the Company right to control the use of the underlying property during the lease term. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are recognized upon commencement of a lease and measured as the present value of lease payments over the lease term, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. The Company has elected not to separate lease and nonlease components within the same contract and instead to account for the entire contract as a lease.

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations of the foreclosed assets based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of like properties, length of time the properties have been held, and the Company's ability and intention with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The Company may incur additional write-downs of foreclosed assets to fair value less costs to sell if valuations indicate a further deterioration in market conditions. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the property valuations are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets and improvements are capitalized.

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the asset has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (i) the assets have been isolated from the Company, and are presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (ii) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (iii) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than fifty percent (50%) likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured, as described above, is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the applicable taxing authority upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. The Company has no uncertain tax positions.

Compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Compensation cost for all stock awards is calculated and recognized over the employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded-vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Additional information about the Company’s share-based compensation plans is presented in Note 12.

Basic earnings per share represent income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to restricted stock and are determined using the treasury method. Earnings per share calculations are presented in Note 11.

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, changes in defined benefit plan assets and liabilities, and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedging instruments are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. These components are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company recognizes derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The fair value of a derivative is determined by quoted market prices and mathematical models using current and historical data. If certain hedging criteria are met, including testing for hedge effectiveness, special hedge accounting may be applied. The Company assesses each hedge, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, to determine whether the derivative used in a hedging transaction is effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to remain effective during subsequent periods. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when (i) it determines that a derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (iii) probability exists that the forecasted transaction will no longer occur or; (iv) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued and a derivative remains outstanding, the Company recognizes the derivative in the balance sheet at its fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized in net income.

At inception, the Company designates a derivative as (i) a fair value hedge of recognized assets or liabilities or of unrecognized firm commitments (fair value hedge) or (ii) a hedge of forecasted transactions or variable cash flows to be received or paid in conjunction with recognized assets or liabilities (cash flow hedge). For a derivative treated as a fair value hedge, a change in fair value is recorded as an adjustment to the hedged item and recognized in net income. For a derivative treated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of a change in fair value is recorded as an adjustment to the hedged item and recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity. For a derivative treated as a cash flow hedge, the ineffective portion of a change in fair value is recorded as an adjustment to the hedged item and recognized in net income. For more information on derivative financial instruments see Note 16.

Securities and other property held by the Wealth Management Services division in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of marketing, including advertising, to expense as incurred.

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant information and assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 18. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect those estimates.

The majority of the Company's revenues are associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities. The Company’s noninterest income includes trust, estate and brokerage fee income, service charges on deposits accounts and net interchange fee income. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest income streams are discussed below.

•

Trust, estate and brokerage fee income – Income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts, estates and other customer assets and by providing investment brokerage services. Fees that are transaction-based (e.g., execution of trades) are recognized on a monthly basis. Other fees, or commissions, are earned over time as the contracted monthly or quarterly services are provided and are generally assessed based on either account activity or the market value of assets under management.

•

Service charges on deposit accounts – The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for overdraft and account maintenance services. Overdraft fees are recognized when the overdraft occurs. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The Company also earns fees from its customers for transaction-based services. Such services include safe deposit box, ATM, stop payment and wire transfer fees. In each case, these service charges and fees are recognized in income at the time or within the same period that the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied.

•

Interchange fee income, net – The Company earns interchange fees from debit and credit cardholder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU No. 2016-13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASU Nos. 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03. These ASUs have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters. Smaller reporting companies who file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and all other entities who do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Changes under ASU No. 2016-13 and subsequent updates represent a fundamental shift from existing GAAP and may result in a material increase to the Company's accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. To prepare for implementation of the new standard the Company established a working group to evaluate the impact these changes will have on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. The Company also contracted with a third-party for credit modeling in accordance with ASU No. 2016-13. The Company has focused on model validations, the development of processes and related controls, and the evaluation of parallel runs. The Company has not yet determined an estimate of the effect of these changes.

Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 119. SAB 119 updated portions of the SEC’s interpretative guidance to align with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” The SAB covers topics including (i) measuring current expected credit losses; (ii) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; (iii) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and (iv) validating a systematic methodology.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU No. 2018-13 modified the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 were also removed or modified. ASU No. 2018-13 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” These amendments modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Certain disclosure requirements were deleted while the following disclosure requirements were added: the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The amendments also clarify the disclosure requirements in paragraph 715-20-50-3, which state that the following information for defined benefit pension plans should be disclosed: The projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2018-14 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU is expected to reduce the cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers’ application of certain income tax-related guidance. This ASU is part of the FASB’s

simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU No. 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” This ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions. ASU No. 2016-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the amendments clarified that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2020-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. This ASU also provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Subsequently, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. The Company is assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments.

On March 12, 2020, the SEC finalized amendments to its definitions of “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer.” The amendments increase the threshold criteria for meeting these filer classifications and are effective on April 27, 2020. Any changes in filer status are to be applied beginning with the filer’s first annual report filed with the SEC subsequent to the effective date. For the Company, this will be its annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the year ending December 31, 2020. Pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the classifications of “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” require a public company to obtain an external auditor attestation concerning the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) and include the opinion on ICFR in its annual report on Form 10-K. The Company has complied with such requirements during the years it was considered an accelerated filer. The SEC’s March 2020 definition amendments exclude from the accelerated filer and large accelerated filer definitions an issuer that (i) is eligible to be a smaller reporting company and (ii) had annual revenues of less than $100 million in the most recent fiscal year. Such entity can now be considered a “non-accelerated filer.” With respect to the 2020 fiscal year, the Company continues to be a smaller reporting company and is no longer be considered an accelerated filer.

In March 2020 (revised in April 2020), various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (collectively, “the agencies”), issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASC 310-40, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be

considered TDRs. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. In August 2020, a joint statement on additional loan modifications was issued. Among other things, the Interagency Statement addresses accounting and regulatory reporting considerations for loan modifications, including those accounted for under Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 to help support individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes and other types of relief. The most significant impacts of the Act related to accounting for loan modifications and establishment of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On December 21, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriates Act of 2021 (“CAA”) was passed. The CAA extends or modifies many of the relief programs first created by the CARES Act, including the PPP and treatment of certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure of TDRs as of December 31, 2020.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. In addition, the amendment updates the disclosure requirements for convertible instruments to increase the information transparency. For public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs.” This ASU clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU No. 2020-08 states that all entities should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
