Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  The new guidance requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability and a right of use asset for all leases extending beyond twelve months.  This standard was effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2019. We elected the new transition method under the transition guidance within the new standard. Therefore, prior comparative periods are not adjusted.  We also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification.  We made an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for short-term operating leases. Adoption of the new guidance resulted in the Company recognizing right-of-use assets of $0.4 million and lease liabilities of $0.3 million. The cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was minimal. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any significant leases.  

 

Prospective Accounting Guidance

Prospective Accounting Guidance

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses.  The current guidance delays the recognition of credit losses until a probable loss has occurred.  The new guidance requires credit losses for securities measured at amortized cost to be determined using current expected credit loss estimates.  These estimates are to be derived from historical, current and reasonable supporting forecasts, including prepayments and estimates, and will be recorded through a valuation account.  The same method will be used for available-for-sale securities, but the valuation account will be limited to the amount by which the fair value is below amortized cost.  The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020.  Implementation of the new guidance requires a modified retrospective approach without restatement, which means the first cumulative adjustment required will be a charge to retained earnings, with subsequent changes in the valuation account reported in the income statement.  The financial statement impact will be determined by the nature of the portfolio held and the economic conditions at the time of implementation.

The Company has formed an internal working group to evaluate the new standard and develop an implementation strategy.  The group has researched data, developed models and methodologies and is working toward implementation.  The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the financial impact as the implementation date approaches.

All other issued but not yet effective accounting and reporting standards as of June 30, 2019 are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
