):

Disclosure

Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level

1

and Level

2

of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. This ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level

3

fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). This ASU is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending

February 28, 2021

and for the interim periods within that year. The Company adopted this ASU in the

first

quarter of its

2021

fiscal year. The adoption of ASU

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic

326

): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

. This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. This ASU is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending

February 28, 2021

and for the interim periods within that year. The Company adopted this ASU in the

first

quarter of its

fiscal year. The adoption of ASU

Income Taxes (Topic

740

): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

. The changes simplify the accounting for a number of topics, some of which are narrow. Some of the proposed amendments eliminate specific exceptions to the general principles of income tax accounting while other changes clarify a handful of narrow issues within the broad topic of income tax accounting. The amendments in ASU

are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2020,

and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have

not

yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
