Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of FSB Community Bankshares, Inc., (the “Company”), Fairport Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and its other wholly owned subsidiary, Fairport Wealth Management, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any future period.

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management.

On March 2, 2016, the Boards of Directors of the Company, FSB Community Bankshares, MHC and the Bank unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion of FSB Community Bankshares, MHC pursuant to which FSB Community Bankshares, MHC undertook a “second-step” conversion and now ceases to exist. The Bank reorganized from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company structure effective July 13, 2016, and, as a result is now the wholly-owned subsidiary of FSB Bancorp, Inc. (“FSB Bancorp”). Because the conversion occurred after June 30, 2016, the information included in this quarterly report is that of the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

On June 16, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU codified the final current expected credit loss (“CECL”) modeling requirement for financial assets within its scope.  The CECL modeling requirement represents a transition in the way institutions will account for losses on many financial assets, including loans.  In comparison to current authoritative guidance, the largest proposed change is the shift to accounting for expected losses over the entire life of the financial asset.

The new CECL model will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments, financial guarantees, and net investments in leases, as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the CECL model requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses (“ECL”) should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments.  Generally, the initial estimate of the ECL and subsequent changes in the estimate will be reported in current earnings. The ECL will be recorded through an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) in the statement of financial position.

Current GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable that a loss has been incurred.  The current model therefore generally restricts an organization’s ability to record credit losses that are expected, but do not yet meet the “probable” threshold.

The ASU also significantly amends the current available-for-sale (“AFS”) security other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) model for debt securities. The new model will require an estimate of ECL only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time that the fair value of an AFS debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists.  In addition, credit losses on AFS debt securities will now be limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. The AFS debt security model will also require the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses (and subsequent recoveries).

The new guidance addresses purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (“PCD”). The new model applies to purchased financial assets (measured at amortized cost or held as AFS) that have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. This represents a change from the scope of what are considered purchased credit-impaired assets under the current model. Different than the accounting for originated or purchased assets that do not qualify as PCD, the initial estimate of expected credit losses for a PCD would be recognized through an ALLL with an offset to the cost basis of the related financial asset at acquisition (i.e., there is no impact to net income at initial recognition). Subsequently, the accounting will follow the applicable CECL or AFS debt security impairment model with all adjustments of the ALLL recognized through earnings.

ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the ALLL. In addition, public business entities (“PBEs”) will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. This disclosure will not be required for other reporting entities.

For PBEs that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, such as the Company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  An entity will apply the amendments in this Update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.  The provisions of this new accounting standard are complex and will require substantial analysis prior to the ASU’s implementation.  The Company’s management is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
