Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which is intended to increase transparency and comparability in the accounting for lease transactions.  ASU 2016-02 became effective as of January 1, 2019 and provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize and measure leases on the balance sheet at either the earliest period presented or the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients. We have elected to apply ASU 2016-02 as of the beginning of the period of adoption, which was January 1, 2019 and we have elected not to restate comparative periods. All the expedients available under ASU 2016-02, have been adopted.  

The Bank has a combined operating lease for its corporate headquarters and main retail branch and a photocopier lease. As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $1.2 million and an operating lease liability of $1.2 million as of January 1, 2019, with no impact on our consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows compared to the prior lease accounting model. The ROU asset and operating lease liability are recorded in fixed assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 6 – Leases for additional information. The implementation of this standard had a minor impact on our regulatory capital ratios.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”.  ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model.  The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor.  For debt securities with other-than-temporary impairment, the guidance will be applied prospectively.  Existing purchased credit impaired (PCI) assets will be grandfathered and classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) assets at the date of adoption.  The asset will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses for all PCD assets at the date of adoption and will continue to recognize the noncredit discount in interest income based on the yield of such assets as of the adoption date.  Subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recorded through the allowance.  For all other assets within the scope of CECL, a cumulative-effect adjustment will be recognized in retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. 

On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to affirm the proposed amended effective date for ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies (“SRCs”) as defined by the SEC. The final ASU is expected to be issued in mid-November of 2019 and would delay the implementation date for ASU 2016-13 to fiscal year ends beginning after December 22, 2022. SRCs are defined as companies with less than $250 million of public float or less than $100 million in annual revenues for the previous year and no public float or public float of less than $700 million.  The Company qualifies as a SRC and management has not yet determined when to implement ASU 2016-13 or the expected financial impact. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU was issued to improve the effectiveness of disclosures surrounding fair value measurements. The ASU removes numerous disclosures from Topic 820 including; transfers between level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation process for level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modified and added disclosure requirements in regards to changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income, as well as the range and weighted average of unobservable inputs for level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.  This ASU is effective January 1, 2020 and clarifies the scope of the credit losses standard and addresses issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments, among other things. The amendments to Topic 326 have the same effective dates as ASU 2016-13. We will evaluate this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-13 to determine its impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible financial assets measured at amortized cost basis upon adoption of the credit loss standards. The effective date for this ASU is the same as for ASU 2016-13. We will evaluate this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-13 to determine its impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
