Note 9 - Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Update Number 2010-20 – Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.
This accounting standard update expands the disclosures about credit quality of financing receivables and allowance for credit losses. The accounting standard update has required the Bancorp to expand disclosures about the credit quality of loans and the related reserves against them. The objective of this accounting standard update is to assist the users of the financial statements in evaluating the nature of the credit risk inherent in the Bancorp’s loans receivable portfolio, how risk is analyzed to determine the allowance for loan losses, and reasons for changes in the allowance for loan losses. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010. The Bancorp adopted this update on December 31, 2010 and the required disclosures are included in Note 4. Adoption of this accounting standard update has not changed the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses.
Update Number 2011-02 – Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.
This update to Receivables (Topic 310) explains the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. This accounting standard update clarifies, when evaluating a restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring, whether a creditor has granted a concession to a debtor and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The objective of this amendment is to promote greater consistency in the application of U.S. GAAP for debt restructurings from the creditor’s perspective. The Bancorp adopted this update as of September 30, 2011 and the required disclosures are included in Note 4.
Update Number 2011-05 – Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.
This accounting standard update was issued to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate the convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and international financial reporting standards. Current U.S. GAAP allows the Bancorp to present other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This accounting standard update eliminates that option and requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and the statement of other comprehensive income. The effective date for this accounting standard update has been partially deferred while the Financial Accounting Standards Board
considers stakeholders’ concerns about how this accounting standard update would be applied. The requirement to
report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive
financial statements will still be effective
for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied retrospectively.
