Recent accounting developments

FASB issued ASU

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

. ASU

2014

implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU

2014

is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU

2014

was originally effective for the Company on

January

2017,

however, FASB issued ASU

2015

which defers the effective date in order to provide additional time for both public and private entities to evaluate the impact. ASU

2014

will now be effective for the Company on

January

2018

and it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

January

2016,

FASB issued ASU

Financial Instruments – Overall

. ASU

2016

makes targeted adjustments to GAAP by eliminating the AFS classification for equity securities and requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard also requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The standard clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to AFS securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. It also requires an entity to present separately (within other comprehensive income) the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, the standard eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU

2016

is effective for fiscal years beginning after

December

15,

2017,

including interim periods within those fiscal years and it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

February

2016,

the FASB issued ASU

2016

02,

Leases

. Under ASU

2016

02,

lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases). Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under ASU

2016

02.

However, the definition of initial direct costs was updated to include only initial direct costs that are considered incremental. This change in definition will change the manner in which the Company recognizes the costs associated with originating leases. ASU

2016

is effective for fiscal years beginning after

December

15,

2018,

including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

. Under the standard, assets measured at amortized costs (including loans, leases and AFS securities) will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Rather than the “incurred” model that is currently being utilized, the standard will require the use of a forward-looking approach to recognizing all expected credit losses at the beginning of an asset’s life. For public companies, ASU

2016

is effective for fiscal years beginning after

December

15,

2019,

including interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies

may

choose to early adopt for fiscal years beginning after

December

15,

2018,

including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective

Compensation – Stock Compensation

. Under the standard, the excess tax benefit (deficiency) related to stock options exercised and restricted stock awards vested is recorded as an adjustment to income tax expense. In the past, this tax benefit (deficiency) was recorded directly to equity. This change in accounting resulted in

$533

thousand of reduced income tax expense in the

first

quarter of

2017.
