Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of 1st Franklin Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In the opinion of Management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and its consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. While certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period.  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at and as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

The computation of earnings per share is self-evident from the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Retained Earnings (Unaudited).  The Company has no dilutive securities outstanding.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 applies to most contracts with customers. Finance receivable and insurance contracts are excluded from the scope of this pronouncement. ASU 2014-09 prescribes a five step framework in accounting for revenues from contracts within its scope, including (a) identification of the contract, (b) identification of the performance obligations under the contract, (c) determination of the transaction price, (d) allocation of the transaction price to the identified performance obligations and (e) recognition of revenues as the identified performance obligations are satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also prescribes additional disclosures and financial statement presentations. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 may be adopted retrospectively or under a modified retrospective method where the cumulative effect is recognized at the date of initial application. Management is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard is expected to have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014 "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern".  ASU 2014-15 provides guidance in GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal yeares and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016.  Management is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
