Significant New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

SIGNIFICANT NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted

During June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 ("ASC 326"), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, as amended, among other things, requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques previously applied are still permitted, although the inputs to those techniques have changed to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASC 326 amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.

We adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable US GAAP. We recorded a net reduction of retained earnings of $6.76 million upon adoption. The transition adjustment includes an increase in the allowance for credit losses for loans ("ACLL") of $6.93 million and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $2.43 million, net of the corresponding increases in deferred tax assets of $2.13 million. The adjustments to the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for both loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures are combined and reported on our income statement as credit loss expense. Further information regarding our policies and methodology used to estimate the ACLL is presented in Note 6 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans. Further information regarding our policies and methodology used to estimate the ACL on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is presented in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies.

We adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, we did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining credit discount on the PCI loans was recorded as an offset to the ACLL at the time of adoption and is netted in the above adjustment. The remaining adjustment for noncredit factors on these loans will be accreted into interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans.

Additionally, we evaluated each acquired loan for PCD status at the time of adoption. We identified loans with a net balance of $9.4 million that should be considered PCD. We considered the remaining discount at the time of adoption to be for noncredit factors on these loans and it will be accreted into interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. Certain disclosure

requirements in Topic 820 are also removed or modified. The amendments were effective for us January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020 (revised April 2020), various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by the Coronavirus ("COVID-19"). The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASC 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, (“ASC 310-40”), a restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 crisis to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. This interagency guidance is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, this impact cannot be quantified at this time. See Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for disclosure of the impact to date.

Pending Adoption

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers’ application of certain income tax-related guidance. This ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. For public business entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, we do not anticipate any material adverse impact to our business operation or financial results during the period of transition.
