This year those results were record breaking, as we experienced strong growth in loans, deposits and pre-tax income. We ended 2014 with total assets of $188.6 million, which surpasses our 2013 year-end of $126.3 million by 49.4%. This sharp increase set a record for Suncrest Bank, placing us in the top 1.5% of all US banks in terms of total asset growth, and making us the fastest growing bank in the Central Valley. Our portfolio grew 32.6% over the prior year, ending the year at $125.2 million, while our total deposits grew by 51.9%, ending the year at $166.4 million. Our Pre-tax earnings for the year are $745,621 which represents a 16.4% increase over 2013, and continues our impressive trend of profitable growth, which now extends to thirteen consecutive quarters. This year was a “Foundation” year for Suncrest Bank as we established a new mission statement and made important strategic investments in people, products and services. Suncrest Bank’s community oriented business philosophy is encapsulated in our new Mission; “Helping to Build and Sustain Local Communities”. Our future success as an organization can only be attained if the communities we serve are also successful. The deposit dollars we raise locally are loaned back out to local businesses to help create a circle of success that is maximized when our communities shop local, dine local, do business local and bank local. to its team. Mr. Peter Nutz was appointed as the bank’s new Chief Credit Officer after spending 13 years with Rabobank where he held various senior credit positions both here in the South Valley and overseas. While with Rabobank, Mr. Nutz served as EVP and Head of Ag Credit Risk for California and Senior Ag Credit Officer for the entire US, chairing 12 nationwide regional credit committees based out of Fresno. We are thrilled to have someone with Peter’s experience and capabilities join our team. Mr. Nutz commenced employment in January 2015. This year we also hired two of the most talented young leaders in our communities. In Visalia, Mr. Nathan Halls joined us from Bank of the West as our Visalia Market President, and in Porterville Mr. Dustin Della joined us from Bank of the Sierra as our Porterville Market President. Nathan and Dustin did an outstanding job in 2014, helping us produce the growth results noted above and building a strong customer service culture in each of their markets. Mr. Craig Howells also joined the Suncrest family this year to head up our Government Guaranteed Lending (GGL) Group, specializing in SBA, USDA and a range of government supported loan products. Craig has been the leading GGL lending officer in our region for many years, and in 2010 was the number one USDA B&I individual lender for the entire state of California. The investment we made in new products and services also contributed to our outstanding growth in 2014. Our new Online Banking system was a great enhancement for our customers. People are the most important ingredient to any successful business and throughout 2014 Suncrest Bank added a number of highly talented leaders The new features and functionality enabled us to double the number of users during the year. Business customers can now enjoy payroll 4 6 In closing, we thank the Board of Directors for their continued support and commitment to the profitable growth of your bank. The foundation we have built in 2014 will provide the platform upon which we can continue our impressive momentum into 2015 and beyond. Thank you all for your continued support! William A.Benneyan, Chairman bbenneyan@suncrestbank.com Ciaran McMullan President & CEO cmcmullan@suncrestbank.com processing, remote deposit capabilities, positive pay, wire transfer and many other outstanding “fingertip” features. We had exceptional response to the launch of our new Mobile Banking and Mobile Deposit products. Customers are now able to check balances, transfer funds, pay bills, deposit checks and much more from their smartphones. In 2014 we became the first bank in California to offer the highly successful Kasasa checking account, with truly unique customer features and the best interest rates in our markets. Look for our next innovation, BaZing!, in 2015. We initiated a campaign to raise new investment capital in 2014, in order to support our continued strong growth and plans for the future. Thanks to many of you, this campaign has been a huge success with nearly $12 million either funded or committed to date. In order to help improve the liquidity of our shares, the bank upgraded its stock listing to the OTCQX in March 2015. This marketplace is the top-tier market for over-the-counter stocks operated by OTC Markets. Previously we had been listed on the OTCQB which is primarily for venture stocks. This move represents a significant milestone in the history and evolution of our bank. 5 Our people make the difference Meet Our Staff All successful businesses have a common characteristic; they have great people working for them. In this regard, Suncrest Bank is no different. What sets us apart from other banks is that every Suncrest employee comes to work every day, not as an employee but as an owner. Every Suncrest employee owns shares in the company and annually shares in the performance based bonus pool, a portion of which is paid in the form of Suncrest Bank stock. As the bank continues to enjoy success and grows, our employee ownership stake will grow along with it. As company owners, our employees take great pride in providing a high level of service to the Suncrest customer base. It is this High Touch service, together with High Tech products, that forms the framework of our commitment to our customers. As owners, our employees also understand the commitment we must make to our communities to ensure they continue to thrive, grow stronger, and maintain a high quality of life. In 2014 our bank Directors and employees contributed over 2,300 hours of their time and talents to various community organizations and outreach efforts. The tremendous results achieved in 2014 reflect the efforts of our entire staff pulling together as a cohesive team to ensure we make good on these commitment to our communities. Leadership at the line level of the company was paramount to our success. Leaders like Dustin Della, Market President in Porterville: Nathan Halls, Market President in Visalia; Debbie Bombard, SVP Operations; and Lori Carabay, Note Department Supervisor; all contributed to a successful 2014. All of us at Suncrest Bank look forward to an exciting 2015! 6 Row 5: Nathan Halls, Ciaran McMullan, Dustin Della, William Benneyan, Frank Paredez, John Gossett, Doug Tribble Row 4: Lori Buecheler, Vicki Evans, Elia Havner, Ericka Melo, Kimberly Zack, Jennifer Noel, Christine Catalina Row 3: Cyndy Paulus, Barbra Hood, Kathleen Bernardo, Tracy Cizek, Brooke Reed, Robert Moore, Suzy Blanchard Row 2: Craig Howells, Karen Snow, Heather Fiori, Debbie Bombard, Lori Carabay Row 1: Michelle Gletne, Gary Gostanian, Rosemary Leon Not Pictured: Peter Nutz, Ashton Freeman, Katrina Puerner, Charlie Glenn, Adriana Vidales 7 Committed to Community Visalia Rescue Mission CASA YEA Program Farm Bureau Leadership Visalia Family Services of Visalia Success in Recovery United Way Porterville Fair Fraternal Order of Eagles Rotary Club Habitat for Humanity Visalia Unified School District Kaweah Delta Health Care District Visalia Community Church of Christ Women’s Ministry Visalia Chamber After Hours Octoberfest Taste of Downtown Visalia Community Church of Christ Worship Band Strathmore High School Football Boosters Porterville Mariachi Academy Foundation City of Porterville Soccer Porterville NJB Porterville Academy of Business Sequoia Chapter Trex Fraternity Porterville Lions Club Valley Children’s Hospital Porterville Chamber of Commerce Porterville National Junior Basketball Family Crisis Center Rotary Cancer Walk Toys for Tots Porterville Area Coordinating Council Veterans Day 5k Porterville Teach Children to Save Program Amvets Post 56 Ladies Auxiliary Veterans Activities City of Hope Kingsburg High School Campus Crusade for Christ Valley SBA Business Development Corporation Clay School Hume Lake Christian Camp Kingsburg Ag Boosters Visalia Community Rotary Foundation California Wine Grape Inspection Committee Imagine U Interactive Children’s Museum Visalia Sunset Rotary Downtown Visalia Visalia Economic Development Corp Sorotimist International of Visalia Networking for Women Tulare Kings Hispanic Chamber Reaching Higher Bible Study International American Youth Soccer Organization AWANA Sierra View District Hospital National Association of Guaranteed Govt Lenders 8 9 5 in 5 Growth Strategy On course to $500 million in assets The Suncrest goal of growing to $500 million in assets in five years is well underway. 2014 represented a foundation building year as we raised the necessary capital to support this ambitious growth agenda. We also hired top talent, improved our technology infrastructure and added new and exciting products. Our Executive Management Team has significant experience not only in growing banks, but in building shareholder value in the process. The Team’s experience in growing organically, through acquisitions, and de novo start-ups is truly aligned with our Growth Strategy and with the objectives of our Board of Directors.

Long Term Profitable Growth is creat- ed through a discipline of building strong, primary and long-lasting customer relationships. Those customers are the best advocates for our bank, and because of the value we provide to them, they readily refer us to their friends, neighbors, family and business associates. Through the prudent deployment of our customers’ deposits in the local communities we serve, we’re able to make a significant contribution to both economic development and quality of life. This philosophy is at the core of the Suncrest Bank community banking values.

This has been the case even during some of the most difficult economic times in our history. Our credit risk disciplines have remained strong, while we build a high quality loan portfolio with local small business customers, across multiple industry sectors. With some of the best lenders in Visalia and Porterville, the bank has achieved strong growth in a variety of industries. Our commitment to local businesses has led to our diverse portfolio mix of agricultural production, farm real estate, equipment finance, working capital lines, commercial real estate, SBA and USDA small business loans. The successful completion of our private placement of $15 million of common stock will give us a well capitalized balance sheet and the financial strength to achieve our strategic goals.

This will be a key aspect of our future growth and will enable us to be highly competitive on loans and deposits, invest in new products and systems, add new business lines, and continue to add talented bankers. As always, our consistent expense control measures and continuous process improvement will remain key efficiency drivers.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Suncrest Bank as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations The Bank has been incorporated in the State of California and organized as a single operating segment that operates two full-service branches in Visalia and Porterville, California. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers, who are predominately small and middle- market businesses and individuals located primarily in the Southern Central Valley of California. Subsequent Events The Bank has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through February 25, 2015, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for periods of less than ninety days. Cash and Due from Banks Banking regulations require that banks maintain a percentage of their deposits as reserves in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank was in compliance with its reserve requirements as of December 31, 2014. The Bank maintains amounts due from banks, which may exceed federally insured limits. The Bank has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Investment Securities Bonds, notes, and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period of maturity. Investments not classified as trading securities nor as held- to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from net income and reported as an amount net of taxes as a separate component of other comprehensive income included in shareholders’ equity. Premiums and discounts on held-to- maturity and available-for-sale securities are amortized or accreted into income using the interest method. Realized gains or losses of held-to-maturity or available-for-sale securities are recorded using the specific identification method. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near- term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows; OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and; OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings. Loans Held for Sale Government Guaranteed loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Gains or losses realized on the sales of loans are recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans sold, adjusted for any servicing asset or liability. Gains and losses on sales of loans are included in noninterest income. Loans Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances 26 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued reduced by any charge-offs or specific valuation accounts and net of deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest is past due 90 days based on the contractual terms of the loan or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to collectability. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on nonaccrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest. Allowance for Loan Losses loan balance The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes is confirmed. the uncollectability of a Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Amounts are charged-off when available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof, are uncollectible. This methodology for determining charge- offs is consistently applied to each segment. The Bank determines a separate allowance for each portfolio segment. The allowance consists of specific and general reserves. Specific reserves relate to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting all amounts when due. Measurement of impairment is based on the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan, which are to be discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or measured by reference to an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral for a collateral- dependent loan. The Bank selects the measurement method on a loan-by-loan basis except that collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable are measured at the fair value of the collateral. The Bank recognizes interest income on impaired loans based on its existing methods of recognizing interest income on nonaccrual loans. Loans, for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired with measurement of impairment as described above. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. General reserves cover non-impaired loans and are based on peer bank historical loss rates for each portfolio segment, adjusted for the effects of qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date to differ from the portfolio segment’s historical include loss experience. Qualitative factors consideration of the following: changes in lending policies and procedures; changes in economic conditions; changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio; changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; changes in the volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual and other adversely graded loans; changes in the loan review system; changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans; concentrations of credit and the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements. Portfolio segments identified by the Bank include real estate – other, construction and land development, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans. Relevant risk characteristics for these portfolio segments generally include debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratios and financial performance on non-consumer loans and credit scores, debt-to income, collateral type and loan-to-value ratios for consumer loans. 27 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Stock The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. Stock-Based Compensation The Bank recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of stock options, or other equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. This cost is recognized over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period. See Note K for additional information on the Bank’s stock option plan. Advertising Costs The Bank expenses the costs of advertising in the period incurred. Other Real Estate Owned Income Taxes Real estate acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis by a charge to the allowance for loan losses, if necessary. Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is based on current appraisals less estimated selling costs. Any subsequent write-downs are charged against operating expenses. Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income, and gains and losses on their disposition are included in other operating expenses. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which ranges from three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for betterments or major repairs are capitalized and those for ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Bank, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, which recognizes a liability or asset representing the tax effects, based on current tax law, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which it is “more likely than not” that the tax asset or benefits will be realized. Realization of tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryforward periods. The Bank has adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of income tax expense. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Comprehensive Income Changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for- sale securities is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income for the Bank. The amount reclassified 28 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued out of other accumulated comprehensive income relating to realized gains on sale of securities was $11,485 for 2014. The related tax effect for the reclassification was $4,709 for 2014. Financial Instruments In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit as described in Note J. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Current accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a Bank’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. See Note M for more information and disclosures relating to the Bank’s fair value measurements. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2013 financial statements to conform to the presentation used in 2014. These reclassifications had no impact of the Bank’s previously reported financial statements. Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This Update provides clarification as to when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred, i.e., the creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan and, therefore, the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property should be recognized. Under ASU No. 2014-04, a creditor has received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to theproperty upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the property to the creditor to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a similar legal agreement. The Update also will require disclosure in annual and interim financial statements of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Update requires an entity to recognize revenue as performance obligations are met, in order to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive for those goods or services. The following steps are applied in the updated guidance: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This Update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public business entities and after December 15, 2017 for non public business entities. Early adoption of this Update is not permitted. The Bank is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Update, but does not expect a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements. 29 The   following   table
