Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income
(Topic

);
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
.  The amendments in this ASU require a reclassification from / to accumulated other comprehensive income and to / from retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the change in the newly enacted federal corporate income tax rate.  Consequently, the amendments in this ASU eliminate the stranded tax effects associated with the change in the federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of
2017.
  The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018
with early adoption allowed.  The Bank elected to early adopt this ASU as of
December 31, 2017. 
The effect of the adoption of this ASU was to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income by
$43,000
with the offset to retained earnings as recorded in the statement of changes in stockholders' equity.  This represents the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate and the newly enacted
21%
corporate income tax rate.

Financial Instruments Overall (Topic

. The amendments in ASU
2016
-
01:
(a) require equity investments (except for those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplify the impairment assessment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method 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; (d) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (e) require an entity to present separately in 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; (f) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company on
January 1, 2018.
Accordingly, the calculation of fair value of the loan portfolio was refined to incorporate exit pricing, but had
no
material impact on our fair value disclosures. See Note
