SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE 25 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

 

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were available to be issued has identified the following as a non-recognized subsequent event. 

 

The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, economic activity globally, nationally and locally. Following the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019 and January 2020, market interest rates have declined significantly, with the 10-year Treasury bond falling below 1.00% on March 3, 2020 for the first time. Such events also may adversely affect business and consumer confidence, generally, and the Company and its customers, and their respective suppliers, vendors and processors may be adversely impacted. On March 3 and March 16, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 and 100 basis points, respectively. As are result of these reductions the target rate is 0.00% - .25%. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. 

 

As a result of the severe economic downturn during the first quarter of 2020, we will be assessing our methodology and adjusting qualitative factors and assessing the potential future impact of these economic changes on our loan portfolio and the related allowance for loan losses, which may result in additional provisions to the allowance.

 

At this time we cannot state how the economic downturn will affect the financial position, operations or liquidity of the Company. Throughout the following discussion, we have attempted to input additional commentary addressing the uncertainty of the current economic conditions.
