In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall, Subtopic 825-10 (“ASU 2016-1”) to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the guidance by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values will be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the amendments. The Company will begin reporting unrealized gains and losses of its marketable equity securities in income as compared to the current method of reporting through other comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2016, other comprehensive income included $75,000, pre-tax, and $48,000, after tax, for unrealized gains on marketable equity securities. If the standard had been adopted already, the unrealized income would be reported on the income statement. The nonmarketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable values are currently recorded at cost. Following implementation, these securities, primarily FHLB stock, will be recorded at cost less any impairment, plus or minus any observable changes in price resulting from transactions for similar or identical investments of the same issuer. An initial adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income will be recorded in retained earnings when the standard is adopted.

 

In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under existing guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. As a result of the deferral, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this new guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements, but the Company does not expect it to have a material impact. The long-term contracts that the Company currently has with customers, loans and time deposits, are being evaluated and are not expected to be impacted by this standard. As the Company considers, plans and implements new products, the impact of this standard on projected revenues will be evaluated and reported accordingly for contracts that are executed with customers.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amended the Leases topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to revise certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Currently, the Company has several multi-year property leases for which reporting will be impacted by this standard. At the end of 2016, one of our branches had an operating lease that expires in 2018 with aggregate payments totaling $160,000. If the new standard were in effect, the present value of payments would be recognized as an asset and a liability. Similarly, other property leases expire in 2019, 2020 and 2021 that have payments totaling $90,000, $48,000 and $200,000, respectively.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting, which is new guidance related to stock compensation. The new guidance eliminates the concept of additional paid-in capital pools for stock-based awards and requires that the related excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also allows entities to make a one-time policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, instead of accruing compensation cost based on the number of awards expected to vest. Additionally, the new guidance changes the requirement for an award to qualify for equity classification by permitting tax withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rate instead of the minimum statutory tax rate. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted the new standard, electing to record forfeitures as they occur, and there have been no material impacts on the financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company has formed a management committee including those responsible for credit analysis and review, accounting and finance, information technology and lending to develop an understanding of the requirements and plan implementation. The Company has adopted a software model for the ALLL model that has add on functionality for compliance with the new standard.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
