RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” and ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief"	1. This Update changes the accounting and recognition of credit losses and impairment of financial assets recorded at amortized cost. Under the CECL model, the standard requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset. The forward-looking concept of CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining estimated life of the financial assets using historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. 2. The Update amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. Receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of CECL. 3. The Update must be applied using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. A prospective transition approach is required for available-for-sale debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted.	January 1, 2020	1. The Company has established a multidisciplinary project team and implementation plan, selected a software solution, reached accounting decisions on various matters, developed a conceptual framework, and developed econometric regression models for the reasonable and supportable ("R&S") forecast period. 2. The Company continues to test and refine the CECL models and has completed three preliminary calculations with two more scheduled before adoption. The Company continues to perform testing and sensitivity analysis on its modeling assumptions and results. 3. Our planned approach for estimating expected life-time credit losses include the following key components for all loan portfolio segments: a. The use of a probability of default/loss given default methodology; b. A single scenario based on the consensus forecast from Moody's to develop an economic forecast for the R&S period; c. An initial R&S forecast period of four quarters for all loan portfolio segments, which reflects management's expectation of losses based on forward-looking economic scenarios over that time; d. A post-R&S reversion period of two quarters using a straight-line approach; e. A historical loss period of at least 40 quarters, which represents a full economic credit cycle; and f. Prepayments rates based on our historical experience. 4. The ultimate impact is influenced by our portfolio characteristics, of which the vast majority is comprised of short-duration commercial loans; the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at adoption; and other management judgments. 5. We plan to adopt this new standard on January 1, 2020. The new standard will be significant to the policies, processes, and methodology used to determine credit losses; however, we are not yet in a position to disclose the quantitative effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations as the calculations and models continue to be evaluated and assumptions are subject to change.

ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment"	1. This Update simplifies goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the second step of the analysis under which the implied fair value of goodwill is determined as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. 2. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge would be recognized for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. 3. The Update must be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted.	January 1, 2020	The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations and we plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020.

ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”	1. This Update modified the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. 2. Certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 are also removed or modified. Certain disclosures in ASU 2018-13 would need to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis and early adoption is permitted.	January 1, 2020	The adoption of this guidance will modify disclosures but will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company has early adopted any removed or modified disclosures effective January 1, 2019 but will defer adoption of the additional disclosures until January 1, 2020 as permitted in the transition guidance of the standard.

ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments"	1. This Update made clarifications and amendments to five topics: (i) Topic A: Codification Improvements Resulting from the June and November 2018 Credit Losses Transition Resource Group ("TRG") Meetings, (ii) Topic B: Codification Improvements to ASU 2016-13, (iii) Topic C: Codification Improvements to ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)" and Other Hedging Items, (iv) Topic D: Codification Improvements to ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10)," and (v) Topic E: Codification Improvements Resulting from the November 2018 Credit Losses TRG Meeting. 2. In addition to conforming amendments that correct for errors and oversights, the Update in Topics A, B, and E, which impacts CECL implementation, amends or clarifies guidance for accrued interest; transfers between classifications or categories of loans and debt securities; recoveries; effect of prepayments in determining the effective interest rate; estimated costs to sell when foreclosure is probable; vintage disclosure presentation related to line-of-credit arrangements converted to term loans; contractual extensions or renewals; and others. 3. Transition requirements for the amendments are the same as ASU 2016-13 for the Update in Topics A, B, and E. The Update in Topic C may be applied retrospectively as of the date of initial adoption of ASU 2017-12 or prospectively. The Update in Topic D must be applied on a modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption and early adoption is permitted.	January 1, 2020; except for Topic C - January 1, 2019	1. Impacts from the adoption of Topics A, B, and E within this Update will be considered in the Company's overall CECL implementation and we plan to adopt this Update concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2016-13. 2. The adoption of Topic D within this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations and we plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020. 3. Topic C within this Update is not applicable to us and therefore there is no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
