NOTE B — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, Not adopted as of September 30, 2017

The following provides a brief description of accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet adopted that could affect the Company's financial statements:

In May 2017, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, clarifying when changes to the terms of share-based awards, such as value, vesting conditions or classification of the awards, should be accounted for as modifications. All the disclosures about modifications that are currently required would need to be made, along with disclosure of any change (or no change) in compensation expense. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standard is being evaluated as to its effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, requiring entities to amortize premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to their earliest call date. The accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount did not change. Amortizing the premium to the earliest call date generally aligns interest income recognition with the economics of instruments. This guidance requires a modified retrospective transition under which a cumulative adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption of this standard is being evaluated as to its effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments to the guidance, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized, however, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The guidance is effective for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019 using a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standard is being evaluated as to its effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

In August and November 2016, the FASB issued final guidance via ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18, which address classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, including changes in restricted cash, in the statement of cash flows. The guidance may change how an entity classifies certain cash receipts and cash payments on its statement of cash flows, the purpose being to reduce diversity in practice. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 and 2016-18 on the Company’s statement of cash flows which will generally be applied retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 for “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a current expected credit loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. Expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of voluntary prepayments and considering available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and supportable forecasts. The resultant allowance for credit losses reflects the portion of the amortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required upon adoption. The Company has established a transition oversight committee that is responsible for assessing expected loss estimation models, data requirements, and changes in processes that will be necessary to meet the requirements of this new accounting guidance. Adoption is required January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019.

In March 2016, under ASU 2016-04, “Liabilities – Extinguishments of Liabilities, Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products” the FASB intends for entities to recognize liabilities for the sale of prepaid stored value products redeemable for goods, services, or cash. This guidance aligns recognition of breakage for these liabilities in a way consistent with how gift card breakage will be recognized. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard to affect the Company’s operating results or financial condition. Effective date for implementation of the guidance is for annual periods after December 15, 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance related to the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements, under ASU 2016-02. The guidance requires all parties to classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. The amendment requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet and record expenses to the income statement. Changes in the guidance eliminate real estate centric provisions for sale-leaseback transactions, including initial direct costs and lease execution costs for all entities. For lessors, the new FASB standard modifies classification criteria and accounting for sales type and direct financing leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. The amended accounting guidance is applicable to periods after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that year.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 for “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” The ASU addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The update: a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value and recognized in net income, b) simplifies impairment assessments of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, and if impaired requires measurement of the investment at fair value, c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value, d) requires entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, e) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, f) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The Company is evaluating the use of the measurement alternative available for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, and the related impact to accounting policies, presentation, and disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and must be adopted on a modified retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU is a converged standard between the FASB and the IASB that provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers across transactions and industries. The primary objective of the ASU is revenue recognition that represents the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue associated with loans and securities is not in the scope of the new guidance, and based on the Company’s evaluation to date we do not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial condition. The Company continues to evaluate the changes in disclosures required by the new guidance. The Company plans to adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2018.
