New Accounting Standards
In
June 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic
326
): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that measure credit losses on financial instruments including loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial asset that has a contractual right to receive cash that is
not
specifically excluded. The main objective of this ASU 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 this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology required in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The amendments in this ASU will affect entities to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, the duration of the assets held, and how the entity applies the current incurred loss methodology. The amendments in this ASU, for public business entities that are filers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019,
including interim periods within those annual periods. All entities
may
adopt the amendments in the ASU early as of the fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Amendments should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Management has accumulated the charge off information necessary to calculate the appropriate life of loan loss percentages for the various loan categories, has identified several key metrics to help identify and project anticipated changes in the credit quality of our loan portfolio upon enactment, and is in the process of evaluating the determination of potential qualitative reserve amounts and the impact that the adoption of this ASU in the
first
quarter of
2020
will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

the FASB issued ASU

Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820
), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.
The Amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements and modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in
Topic
820,
Fair Value Measurement
, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The ASU removed, modified, and added various disclosure requirements in Topic
820.
The amendments also eliminate
at a minimum
from the phrase
an entity shall disclose at a minimum
to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities and their auditor when evaluating disclosure requirements. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2019.
An entity is permitted to early adopt the implementation of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company has
not
opted to early adopt any portion of this ASU and the adoption in the
first
quarter of
2020
is
not
anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
