The cumulative effect adjustment from the modified retrospective transition of the forfeitures and the classification of awards did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

– Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance in ASU

describes a

while also providing for early adoption but not before the original effective date. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under other GAAP, the Company does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on revenue most closely associated with financial instruments, including interest income. The Company is currently performing an overall assessment of revenue streams potentially affected by the ASU including deposit related fees and interchange fees to determine the potential impact the new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company plans to adopt ASU No.

the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update

-
01,
Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Changes made to the current measurement model primarily affect the accounting for equity securities with readily determinable fair values, where changes in fair value will impact earnings instead of other comprehensive income. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The Update also changes the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments including a requirement that public business entities use exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for disclosure purposes. This Update is generally effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after
December
15,

including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has performed a preliminary evaluation of the provisions of ASU No.

Leases. The most significant change for lessees is the requirement under the new guidance to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all lease
s not considered short-term leases, which is generally defined as a lease term of less than
12
months. This change will result in lessees recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases currently accounted for as operating leases under current lease accounting guidance. ASU

The Company has several lease agreements, including
two
branch locations, which are currently considered operating leases, and therefore, not recognized on the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. The Company expects the new guidance will require some of these lease agreements to now be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Therefore, the Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates the provisions of ASU No.

significantly changes how entities will
measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to:
(1)
financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and
(2)
certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU No.

Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the
first
reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company has begun its implementation efforts by establishing an implementation team chaired by the Company’s Chief Lending Officer and composed of members of the Company’s credit administration and accounting departments. The Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates the provisions of ASU No.
