SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1                                        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

The Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and CFS Group, Inc., provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its clients.  The Corporation and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  Amounts in the prior periods' consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform with the current period's presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information.  These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.  The allowance for loan losses, fair value of financial instruments, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities and goodwill and other intangibles are particularly subject to change.

Subsequent Events

The Corporation has evaluated events and transactions through the time the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.  Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to all shareholders and other financial statement users, or filed with the SEC.  In conjunction with applicable accounting standards, all material subsequent events have been either recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements or disclosed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, an amendment to Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), Reclassification of Residential Real Estate and Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  The objective of this ASU is to improve reporting by clarifying when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable is derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The Corporation will adopt all provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2015.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, an amendment to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The objective of the ASU is to align the recognition of revenue with the transfer of promised goods or services provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Corporation will adopt all provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. 

 
In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, an amendment to Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  The objective of this ASU is to improve consistency in reporting repurchase transactions as secured borrowings and providing additional information of the collateral pledged. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Corporation will adopt all provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2015.


In August 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, an amendment to Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40):  Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  The objective of this ASU is to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Corporation will adopt all provisions of this ASU as of the December 31, 2015 annual period and interim periods beginning in 2016.
