RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

NOTE B - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, Not adopted as of March 31, 2014

 

Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01- Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects - In January 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-01. This update provides guidance to investors in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing credit. The ASU will allow investors, in certain cases, to qualify for the use of the effective yield method of accounting in lieu of the equity method or the cost method. The new standard deems that investors should disclose information which allows users of its financial statements to understand this type of investment and the risks involved, including the related tax credits.

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and is currently analyzing the effects the ASU will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-04- Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure - In January 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-04. This amendment is intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property. The Update also defines when the accounting change for the loan should take place.

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
