Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02 to amend FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.  The Update clarifies the process of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and improves consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.  The Update was effective for the Company January 1, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-06 to amend FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.  The Update addresses the diversity in practice when subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized in a government-assisted (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or National Credit Union Administration) acquisition of a financial institution that includes a loss-sharing agreement (indemnification agreement).  When a reporting entity recognizes an indemnification asset as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution and subsequently a change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the contractual term of the indemnification agreement (that is, the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets).  The Update was effective for the Company January 1, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01 to amend FASB ASC Topic 210, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  The Update applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging and holder of financial instruments that are either offset in accordance with section 210-20-45 or 815-10-45 or subject to a master netting arrangement.  The Update clarifies implementation issues related to the issuance of ASU 2011-11.  The Update was effective for the Company January 1, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02 to amend FASB ASC Topic 220, Reporting Items Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The objective of this update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The amendments in this Update require an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investment securities) and separately present reclassification adjustments and current period other comprehensive income.  The Update does not change the current requirements for reporting of net income or other comprehensive income.  The Update was effective for the Company January 1, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10 to amend FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.  The Update permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to interest rates on treasury obligations of the U.S. Government and LIBOR rates, which were previously allowed.  The Update was effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013.  The Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 to amend FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  The objective of this Update is to provide explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exist.  An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in specific situations as described in the Update.  The Update will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01 to amend FASB ASC Topic 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures.  The objective of this Update is to provide guidance on accounting for investments by a reporting entity in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit.  The amendments in the Update permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met.  Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit).  The Update will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015; however, early adoption is permitted.  The Company does have significant investments in such qualified affordable housing projects and is currently reviewing the provisions of this Update to determine what, if any, impacts it may have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  Based on its preliminary review, the Company may elect to adopt this Update early during the three months ending March 31, 2014.  The Company expects that there will be no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except that the investment amortization expense which is currently included in Other Non-interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income would be removed from Other Non-interest Expense and included in Provision for Income Taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  This would have the effect of reducing Non-interest Expense and increasing Provision for Income Taxes, but is not expected to have any impact on Net Income.

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 to amend FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.  The objective of the amendments in this Update is to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized.  The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.  The Update will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
