11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASUs adopted by the Company during the current fiscal year are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. The following standard will be adopted in a future period. ASUs not listed below are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments – Current GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Both financial institutions and users of their financial statements expressed concern that current GAAP restricts the ability to record credit losses that are expected, but do not yet meet the “probable” threshold. The main objective of this ASU (commonly known as the Current Expected Credit Loss Impairment Model, or CECL, in the industry) is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in CECL replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company has contracted with a third-party software vendor to assist with the development of the Bank’s approach for determining expected credit losses under the new guidance. The Company is actively working on preliminary test calculations, data validation, as well as process and procedural documentation. While the total impact of CECL to the Company’s financial statements is unknown at this time, the Company recognizes it may be material. On October 16, 2019, the FASB affirmed its decision to amend the effective date for the amendments in CECL for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt CECL effective January 1, 2023.

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures – This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") in ASC 310-40, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors" for entities that have adopted the CECL model introduced by ASU 2016-13. ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost". The Company will adopt ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023.
