NOTE 13 – CURRENT YEAR ACCOUNTING CHANGES

FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” New authoritative accounting guidance issued in July 2010 under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” required extensive new disclosures surrounding the allowance for loan losses although it did not change any credit loss recognition or measurement rules. The new rules require disclosures to include a breakdown of allowance for loan loss activity by portfolio segment as well as problem loan disclosures by detailed class of loan. In addition, disclosures on internal credit grading metrics and information on impaired, nonaccrual, and restructured loans are also required. The period-end disclosures were effective for financial periods ending December 31, 2010 but deferred presentation of loan loss allowance by loan portfolio segment until the quarter ended March 31, 2011. PSB adopted the rules for loan loss allowance disclosures by loan segment effective March 31, 2011.

In April 2011, new authoritative accounting guidance concerning a creditor's determination of whether a loan restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring was issued under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” The amendments clarified existing guidance concerning the creditor's evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether the concession was to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The guidance clarified that a troubled debt restructuring includes modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that did not otherwise have access to funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics as the restructured debt. In addition, a creditor may conclude that a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties even through the debtor is not currently in payment default if the debtor would be in default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the loan modification. The clarifying guidance is expected to result in more consistent application of required accounting and disclosure for troubled debt restructurings. These amendments were adopted by PSB during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and applied retrospectively to loans restructured since January 1, 2011. PSB did not incur a change to measurement of impairment from retrospective application of these amendments to loans restructured since January 1, 2011.
