NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Salisbury
uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.
Securities available-for-sale and mutual funds are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, other
assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, collateral dependent impaired loans, property
acquired through foreclosure or repossession and mortgage servicing rights. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve
the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Salisbury
adopted ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement - Overall,” which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally
accepted accounting principles. This guidance permitted Salisbury the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent
measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Salisbury did not elect fair value treatment
for any financial assets or liabilities upon adoption.
In accordance
with ASC 820-10, Salisbury groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels based on the
markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
GAAP specifies
a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the types of valuation information (“inputs”) are observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect Salisbury’s market assumptions.
These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | Level
1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such
as the New York Stock Exchange Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical
assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level
2. Significant other observable inputs. Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations
are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level
3. Significant unobservable inputs. Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option
pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions.
Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.
|
The following
is a description of valuation methodologies for assets recorded at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and
liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
| • | Securities
available-for-sale and mutual funds. Securities available-for-sale and mutual funds are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Level
1 securities include exchange-traded equity securities. Level 2 securities include debt securities with quoted prices, which are traded
less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, whose value is determined using matrix pricing with inputs that are observable in the
market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes obligations of the
U.S. Treasury and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, municipal bonds,
SBA bonds, corporate bonds and certain preferred equities. Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject
to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally
based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception,
management only changes level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed
or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization
and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash
flows. |
| • | Collateral
dependent loans that are deemed to be impaired are valued based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Such
collateral primarily consists of real estate and, to a lesser extent, other business assets. Management may adjust appraised values to
reflect estimated market value declines or apply other discounts to appraised values resulting from its knowledge of the property. Internal
valuations are utilized to determine the fair value of other business assets. Collateral dependent impaired loans are categorized as Level
3. |
| • | Other
real estate owned acquired through foreclosure or repossession is adjusted to fair value less costs to sell upon transfer out of loans.
Subsequently, it is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is generally based upon independent
market prices or appraised values of the collateral. Management adjusts appraised values to reflect estimated market value declines or
apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of the property, and such property is
categorized as Level 3. |
