Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB amended existing guidance clarifying that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. This update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance for accounting for investments in qualified affordable housing projects. The new guidance allows a limited liability investor that meets certain conditions to use the proportional amortization methods. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit).

The Company adopted the proportional amortization method of accounting for its low income housing investments in the first quarter of 2015. The Company quantified the impact of adopting the proportional amortization method compared to the equity method to its current year and prior period financial statements. The Company determined that the adoption of the proportional amortization method did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements; therefore, the Company did not adjust its prior period consolidated financial statements. The low income housing investment losses, net of the tax benefits received, are included in income tax expense on the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
