3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Additionally, available for sale debt securities may realize value either through collection of contractual cash flows or through sale of the security at fair value. Therefore, the amendments limit the amount of the allowance for credit losses to the difference between amortized cost and fair value. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. The Company has formed a working group comprised of individuals from various functional areas including credit, risk management, finance and information technology, among others, to assist in the implementation of ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently working through an implementation plan that includes assessment of processes, portfolio segmentation and model development. The Company is working with a third-party vendor to assist with implementation and model development. CECL compliant models are currently in the development stage, with model testing and documentation being performed concurrently. The Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of ASU 2016‑13 on the Company’s financial statements. ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires that lessees recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The requirements for lessors under ASU 2016-02 are largely unchanged from existing guidance, however certain necessary changes have been made to align with specific changes to lessee accounting and key aspects of the revenue recognition guidance (Topic 606). The Company’s leases relate primarily to office space and banking centers. The Company identified and reviewed existing leases applicable to ASU 2016-02 and elected certain optional practical expedients: 1) not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, 3) not to reassess initial direct cost for any existing leases and 4) not to separately identify lease and non-lease components. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption for lease terms less than 12 months. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach without adjusting comparative periods. With the adoption of the new standard, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $17.3 million as of January 1, 2019.
