Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities (including operating leases) on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Previous lease accounting did not require the inclusion of operating leases in the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB provided additional guidance on implementation of Topic 842 as well as an additional transition method. The ASU, including the updated guidance, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2019. The guidance did not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors and did not significantly impact the consolidated financial statements in relation to contracts whereby the Company acts as a lessor. Implementation of the guidance resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of income. See Note 9 for additional disclosures relating to the Company's lease assets and liabilities.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Under the new guidance, which will replace the existing incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, banks and other lending institutions will be required to recognize the full amount of expected credit losses. The new guidance, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"), requires that expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date that are accounted for at amortized cost be measured and recognized based on historical experience and current and reasonably supportable forecasted conditions to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. A modified version of these requirements also applies to debt securities classified as AFS. As initially proposed, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such years. In October 2019, the FASB approved amendments to delay the effective date of the ASU to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, and other non-SEC reporting entities. The final ASU is expected to be issued in November 2019. As the Company is a smaller reporting company, the delay will be applicable to the Company and the Company does not intend to early adopt the ASU at this time. The Company has established a CECL implementation team and developed a transition project plan. The Company has entered into an agreement with a software provider, historical data has been compiled and training on utilizing the software for the existing incurred loss model has been completed. The Company continues the collection of historical data and training is ongoing during 2019 surrounding CECL implementation and methodologies, including the running of parallel calculations throughout the year. This will facilitate the eventual implementation process and management's evaluation of the potential impact of the ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU was issued to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, step two of the goodwill impairment test was eliminated. Instead, a company will recognize an impairment of goodwill should the carrying value of a reporting unit exceed its fair value (i.e. step one). The ASU will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the implementation to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU was issued to make certain specific improvements to hedge accounting to better align hedge accounting with risk management activities, eliminate the separate measurement and recording of hedge ineffectiveness, improve presentation and disclosure, and other simplifications. The ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. All transition requirements and elections were applied to existing hedging relationships upon adoption. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This guidance, which is a part of the FASB’s disclosure framework project to improve disclosure effectiveness, eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements regarding the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, an entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and an entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance also adds new disclosure requirements for public entities regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, including how the weighted average is calculated.  In addition, this guidance modifies certain requirements regarding the disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, purchases and issuances of Level 3 assets and liabilities, and information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
