NOTE 12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Other Authoritative Guidance

Pending Adoption

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements.” The amendments in this ASU enables entities to apply hedge accounting to a greater number of highly effective economic hedges in the following five areas: 1) similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, 2) hedging forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments, 3) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, 4) net written options as hedging instruments, and 5) foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument as hedging instrument and hedged item (dual hedge). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after November 25, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” The amendments in this ASU expand the population of acquired financial assets accounted for using the gross-up approach. Acquired loans (excluding credit cards) are deemed purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach upon acquisition if criteria established by the new guidance are met. This change aims to enhance comparability, consistency, and better reflect the economics of acquiring financial assets. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If an entity adopts this ASU in an interim reporting period, it should apply it as of the beginning of that interim reporting period or the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
