Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Effective February 12, 2008, the FASB issued a staff position, FSP FAS 157-2, which delayed the applicability of FAS 157 to non-financial instruments until January 1, 2009. On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective immediately, and did not affect the Company’s fair value measurements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value — with changes in fair value reported in earnings — and requires additional disclosures related to an entity’s election to use fair value reporting. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has elected to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued “Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109” (SAB 109). SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 109 was applied on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of SAB 109 on January 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS No. 141R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and applies to all

transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for the acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141R also requires an acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. This changes the requirements of SFAS No. 141 which permitted deferred recognition of preacquisition contingencies, until the recognition criteria for SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” were met. SFAS No. 141R will also require acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than require allocation of such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combination reporting for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on the accounting for any business combination occurring on or after January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Prior to SFAS No. 160, net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest generally was reported as an expense or other deduction in arriving at consolidated net income (loss). Additional disclosures are required as a result of SFAS No. 160 to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 160 may have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 expands disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. Expanded qualitative disclosures that will be required under SFAS No. 161 include: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and its related interpretations; and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires several added quantitative disclosures in financial statements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of SFAS No. 161 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting standards

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 also amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 was effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued by the Company after January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value. In addition, entities are permitted to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize servicing rights in proportion to and over the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment. Beginning with the fiscal year in which an entity adopts SFAS No. 156, it may elect to subsequently measure a class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value. Post adoption, an entity may make this election as of the beginning of any fiscal year. An entity that elects to subsequently measure a class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value should apply that election to all new and existing recognized servicing assets and liabilities within that class. The effect of re-measuring an existing class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value is to be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The statement also requires additional disclosures. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement for income tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition and the second is measurement. For recognition, an enterprise judgmentally determines whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold it is measured and recognized in the financial statements. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date of FIN 48 may be recognized, or continue

to be recognized, upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSB) No. 157-2 in which delays the effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on its future consolidated financial statements.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (FTB 85-4), Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance” (EITF 06-5). EITF 06-5 addresses the methods by which an entity should determine the amounts that could be realized under an insurance contract at the consolidated balance sheet date when applying FTB 85-4, and whether the determination should be on an individual or group policy basis. EITF 06-5 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value – with changes in fair value reported in earnings – and requires additional disclosures related to an entity’s election to use fair value reporting. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has elected to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS No. 141R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for the acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141R also requires an acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. This changes the requirements of SFAS No. 141 which permitted deferred recognition of preacquisition contingencies, until the recognition criteria for SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” were met. SFAS No. 141R will also require acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than require allocation of such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combination reporting for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on the accounting for any business combination occurring on or after January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary

and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Prior to SFAS No. 160, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest generally was reported as an expense or other deduction in arriving at consolidated net income. Additional disclosures are required as a result of SFAS No. 160 to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 160 may have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued “Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109” (SAB 109). SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 109 is to be applied on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of SAB 109 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of
FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to permit fair value
re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative
that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is
accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 also amends SFAS No. 140,
“Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a
derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other
than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 was effective for all
financial instruments acquired or issued by the Company after January 1, 2007.
The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.


In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.
156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing
assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value. In addition,
entities are permitted to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights
at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize
servicing rights in proportion to and over the estimated net servicing income or
loss and assess the rights for impairment. Beginning with the fiscal year in
which an entity adopts SFAS No. 156, it may elect to subsequently measure a
class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value. Post adoption, an
entity may make this election as of the beginning of any fiscal year. An entity
that elects to subsequently measure a class of servicing assets and liabilities
at fair value should apply that election to all new and existing recognized
servicing assets and liabilities within that class. The effect of re-measuring
an existing class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value is to be
reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the
beginning of the period of adoption. The statement also requires additional
disclosures. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007. The adoption
of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.


In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an
interpretation of FASB 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold
and measurement for income tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial
statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48
also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step
is recognition and the second is measurement. For recognition, an enterprise
judgmentally determines whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position
will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or
litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax
position meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold it is measured
and recognized in the financial statements. If a tax position does not meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not
recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions that meet the
“more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date of FIN 48 may
be recognized, or continue

to be recognized, upon adoption of FIN
48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 shall be reported
as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal
year. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
Accordingly, the Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN
48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity
transacts. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements;
rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or
permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier
adoption permitted. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSB)
No. 157-2 in which delays the effective date for nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on its
future consolidated financial statements.


On September 20, 2006, the FASB
ratified Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases
of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance
with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (FTB 85-4), Accounting for Purchases of
Life Insurance” (EITF 06-5). EITF 06-5 addresses the methods by which an entity
should determine the amounts that could be realized under an insurance contract
at the consolidated balance sheet date when applying FTB 85-4, and whether the
determination should be on an individual or group policy basis. EITF 06-5 was
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of
EITF 06-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities –
Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 provides
entities with an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at
fair value – with changes in fair value reported in earnings – and requires
additional disclosures related to an entity’s election to use fair value
reporting. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets
and liabilities for which the entity has elected to use fair value on the face
of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No.
159 may have on its future consolidated financial statements.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS No. 141R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R
replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and applies to all transactions
and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses. SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141
that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations
and for the acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No.
141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition
date, measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141R
also requires an acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed
arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at
their acquisition-date fair values. This changes the requirements of SFAS No.
141 which permitted deferred recognition of preacquisition contingencies, until
the recognition criteria for SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” were
met. SFAS No. 141R will also require acquirers to expense acquisition-related
costs as incurred rather than require allocation of such costs to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business
combination reporting for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
Company expects SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on the accounting for
any business combination occurring on or after January 1, 2009.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an
amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB)
No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary

and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160
requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the
amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Prior
to SFAS No. 160, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest
generally was reported as an expense or other deduction in arriving at
consolidated net income. Additional disclosures are required as a result of SFAS
No. 160 to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.
SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 160 may have on its
future consolidated financial statements.


In November 2007, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) issued “Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109” (SAB 109).
SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows
related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the
measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value
through earnings. SAB 109 is to be applied on a prospective basis to derivative
loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December
15, 2007. The adoption of SAB 109 is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.

The effect of remeasuring an existing class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value is to be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The statement also requires additional disclosures. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 156 on its future consolidated financial statements.

The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company plans to adopt FIN 48 during the first quarter of 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and at this point does not believe that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced “Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108” (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how to quantify financial statement errors that arose in prior periods for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. It requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality. It clarifies that immaterial financial statement errors in a prior SEC filing can be corrected in subsequent filings without the need to amend the prior filing. In addition, SAB 108 provides transitional relief for correcting errors that would have been considered immaterial before its issuance. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have an impact on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (FTB 85-4), Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance” (EITF 06-5).

Recently issued accounting standards

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is currently considering EITF Issue 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” EITF Issue 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an investment is considered impaired, whether impairment is other-than-temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless: (i) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (ii) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss should be recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. Certain disclosure requirements of EITF Issue 03-1 were adopted in 2003 and the Company began presenting the new disclosure requirements in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, as applicable. The recognition and measurement provisions were initially effective for other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. However, in September 2004, the effective date of these provisions was delayed until the finalization of a FASB Staff Position to provide additional implementation guidance.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity (i) exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, or (ii) incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of the equity instruments. SFAS 123R will replace SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and will supersede Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations (collectively “APB 25”). SFAS 123R will eliminate the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB 25 and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the date of the grant.

SFAS 123R is effective for the Company beginning on July 1, 2005. The Company will transition to fair value based accounting for stock-based compensation using a modified version of prospective application (“modified prospective application”). Under modified prospective application, as it is applicable to the Company, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after July 1, 2005. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (generally referring to non-vested awards) that are outstanding as of July 1, 2005, must be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during the period of and/or the periods after the adoption of SFAS 123R. The attribution of compensation cost for those earlier awards will be based on the same method and on the same grant-date fair values previously determined for the pro forma disclosures required for companies that did not adopt the fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Based on the stock-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2004 for which the requisite service is not expected to be fully rendered prior to July 1, 2005, the Company expects to recognize additional pre-tax, quarterly compensation cost of approximately $111,000 beginning in the third quarter of 2005 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to stock-based compensation awards (including the aforementioned expected costs during the period of adoption) may be impacted by new awards and/or modifications, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards before and after the adoption of this standard.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments,” summarizes the views of the staff of the SEC regarding the application of

46

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments. SAB No. 105 provides that the fair value of recorded loan commitments that are accounted for as derivatives under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” should not incorporate the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan. In addition, SAB No. 105 requires registrants to disclose their accounting policy for loan commitments. The provisions of SAB No. 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s 2004 consolidated financial statements.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position (SOP) No. 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer,” addresses accounting for differences between the contractual cash flows of certain loans and debt securities and the cash flows expected to be collected when loans or debt securities are acquired in a transfer and those cash flow differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. As such, SOP No. 03-3 applies to loans and debt securities acquired individually, in pools or as part of a business combination and does not apply to originated loans. The application of SOP No. 03-3 limits the interest income — including accretion of purchase price discounts — that may be recognized for certain loans and debt securities. Additionally, SOP No. 03-3 does not allow the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected to be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance, such as the reserve for loan losses. SOP No. 03-3 requires that increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment be recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the yield on the loan or debt security over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized as impairment. In the case of loans acquired in a business combination where the loans show signs of credit deterioration, SOP No. 03-3 represents a significant change from current purchase accounting practice, whereby the acquiree’s reserve for loan losses is typically added to the acquirer’s reserve for loan losses. SOP No. 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired by the Company beginning January 1, 2005. The adoption of this new standard is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
