2021 Annual Report
Off-balance sheet instruments – Fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments (lending commitments and unused lines of credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparties’ credit standing and discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of these off-balance sheet items approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees and was not material at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Limitations – The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between market participants, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. Note 22: Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from financial instruments, including interest income related to loans and investment securities, letters of credit, and derivatives, which are not within the scope of Topic 606 as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within the Company’s disclosures. The following is a summary of revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of Topic 606, which are presented in the Company’s income statements as components of noninterest income: Service charges on deposit accounts . These represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity and transaction-based fees such as wire transfer fees, check cashing fees, check printing fees, stop payment fees and ATM and card replacement fees. Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is completed, which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed. Payments for these performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied. The adoption of Topic 606 had no impact on the Company’s revenue recognition practice for these services. Debit card interchange fees . When a debit card issued by the Company is used to purchase goods or services from a merchant, the Company earns an interchange fee. The performance obligation is completed and the fees are recognized as the service is provided (i.e., when the customer uses the debit card). The adoption of Topic 606 has no impact on the Company’s revenue recognition related to debit card interchange fees. Gain on sales of other real estate . ASU 2014-09 also created Topic 610-20, under which a gain on sale should be recognized when a contract for sale exists and control of the asset has been transferred to the buyer. Topic 606 list several criteria which must exist to conclude that a contract for sale exists, including a determination that the institution will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled.
