ASU No. 2010-20, "Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses" requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users' evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity's portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.  Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment.  The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators.  ASU 2010-20 was effective for the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period.  Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period became effective for the Company's financial statements beginning on January 1, 2011 and have been included herein in Note D.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, "A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring."  The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, include factors and examples for creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibit creditors from using the borrower's effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower, and add factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties.  A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB's deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20.  The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 are effective for the Company's reporting period ending September 30, 2011.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-02 did not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of income and condition.  See Note D for further discussion.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs."  This ASU amends Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," to converge the fair value measurement guidance contained in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").  The provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 clarify existing fair value measurements, amend certain principles set forth in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures.  ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income."  ASU 2011-05 amends Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income," to require that all nonowner changes in shareholders' equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements, thus eliminating the option to present components of comprehensive income within the statement of changes in shareholders' equity.  ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment."  Under this ASU, an entity has the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If an entity determines, as a result of this qualitative assessment, that it is not more than likely that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09, "Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80)."  This ASU requires employers provide additional separate disclosures for multiemployer pension plans and multiemployer other postretirement benefit plans.  ASU No. 2011-09 is effective for the Company's reporting period ending on December 31, 2011.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
