Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2022.

Use of estimates

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material.

Impact of recently-issued accounting standards and pronouncements

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements:

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method” (“ASU 2022-01”), which expands the last-of-layer method (which previously allowed entities to hedge exposure of a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets to fair value changes due to changes in interest rates for a portion of the portfolio that is not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults and other events impacting the timing and amount of cash flows on only one hedged layer) to the portfolio layer method which allows for multiple hedged layers in a single closed portfolio. ASU 2022-01 also expands the scope to include non-prepayable financial assets, specifies eligible hedging instruments in a single layer hedge, provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustment under the portfolio layer method and specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for assets included in a closed portfolio. ASU 2022-01 will be effective on January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. ASU 2022-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-40, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, ASU 2022-02 requires entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU 2022-02 will be effective on January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have no impact on the Company’s financial statements aside from additional and revised disclosures.
