Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements and related notes of this Form 10-Q.

General

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions and Repurchase Financings. The new guidance changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. The guidance also requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The new guidance allows an entity, provided certain criteria are met, to elect the proportional amortization method to account for these investments. The proportional amortization method allows an entity to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognize the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of the provision for income taxes. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted new guidance related to Troubled Debt Restructurings. The new guidance clarifies the timing of when an in substance repossession or foreclosure of collateralized residential real property is deemed to have occurred. The guidance also requires disclosures related to the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted new guidance related to Investment Companies. The new guidance amends the criteria for an entity to qualify as an investment company and requires an investment company to measure all of its investments at fair value. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
