In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. This ASU:

•

Replaces the existing incurred loss impairment guidance and establishes a single allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost, which will reflect our estimate of credit losses over the full remaining expected life of the financial assets and will consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions.

•

Eliminates existing guidance for purchase credit impaired (“PCI”) loans, and requires recognition of the nonaccretable difference as an increase to the allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets purchased with more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination, which will be offset by an increase in the recorded investment of the related loans.

•	Requires inclusion of expected recoveries, limited to the cumulative amount of prior write-offs, when estimating the allowance for credit losses for in scope financial assets (including collateral dependent assets).

•

Amends existing impairment guidance for securities available for sale to incorporate an allowance, which will allow for reversals of credit impairments in the event that the credit of an issuer improves. Credit losses on securities available for sale are limited to the amount of the decline in fair value regardless of what the credit loss model would show for impairment.

•	Generally requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption.

•	Is effective for us on January 1, 2020.

We began evaluating this ASU in 2016 and established a company-wide, cross-discipline governance structure, which provides implementation oversight. We continue to test and refine our current expected credit loss models that satisfy the requirements of this ASU. Oversight and testing, as well as efforts to meet expanded disclosure requirements, will extend through the remainder of 2019. We expect that the allowance related to our loans will increase as it will cover credit losses over the full remaining expected life of the portfolio. We currently intend to estimate losses over approximately a two year forecast period using the Federal Open Market Committee median economic projections (which are typically published in March of each year) as well as considering other economic forecast sources, and then revert to longer term historical loss experience to estimate losses over more extended periods. We currently expect the increase in the allowance for loan losses to be in the range of $9.5 million to $11.5 million, primarily driven by the longer contractual maturities of our mortgage and consumer installment loan segments. This estimated range is based on our June 30, 2019 loan portfolio and currently available economic forecasts. The mid-point of the range utilizes a two year forecast period and a two year reversion period. This estimated range also includes a qualitative adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, we currently expect this ASU to increase the allowance for losses related to unfunded loan commitments between $0.5 million and $1.5 million. These estimates are subject to further refinement based on continuing reviews, testing, enhancements and approvals of models, methodologies and judgments. The ultimate impact will depend upon the nature and characteristics of our loan portfolio at the adoption date, the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date, further regualatory or accounting guidance and other management judgments. We currently do not expect to record any allowance for loss on available for sale securities. The ultimate impact will depend upon the nature and characteristics of our securities available for sale (including issuer specific matters) at the adoption date, the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date, and other management judgments.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, ‘‘Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement’’. This new ASU amends disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The amended guidance eliminates the requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amended guidance adds the requirements to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period and for recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and how the weighted average was calculated, with certain exceptions. This amended guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. This ASU amends existing guidance related to the accounting for leases. These amendments, among other things, require lessees to account for most leases on the balance sheet while recognizing expense on the income statement in a manner similar to existing guidance. For lessors the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct finance leases. This amended guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2019 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition. Based on our operating leases that we currently have in place we do not expect a material change in the recognition, measurement and presentation of lease expense or impact on cash flow. The primary impact was the recognition of certain operating leases on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition which resulted in the recording of right of use (“ROU”) assets and offsetting lease liabilities each totaling approximately $7.7 million at January 1, 2019. See note #16.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”. This new ASU amends the hedge accounting model in Topic 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The amendments expand an entity’s ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. This amended guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2019, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.
