Accordingly, certain disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed by us with the SEC.
Reclassification	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications are immaterial and have no effect on net income, comprehensive income (loss), total assets or total shareholders’ equity previously reported.In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all of the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its then wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Significant Accounting Policies, and Recent Accounting Guidance	Significant Accounting Policies: The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are based upon GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. We have not made any changes in our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC, except for those described below, which reflect a new accounting policy adopted and the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-02: Derivative Instruments - Cash Flow Hedge: The Company applies hedge accounting for certain derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk. A cash flow hedge is a derivative instrument used to manage the variability in future expected cash flows that would otherwise be impacted by movements in interest rates. To quality for hedge accounting, the cash flow hedge must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the hedged exposure. The effectiveness of the hedging relationship is documented at inception and is monitored at least quarterly through the life of the transaction. A cash flow hedge that is designated as highly effective is carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and subsequently recognized in earnings in the same period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. At that time, the amount reclassified from AOCI is presented in the same income statement line item in which the hedged transaction is reported (interest income or expense). If the cash flow hedge becomes ineffective, the change in fair value is reclassified from AOCI to earnings. Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty: Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, we accounted for the modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2022-02, which eliminated TDR accounting prospectively for all restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2023. Loans that were considered a TDR prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 will continue to be accounted for under the superseded TDR accounting guidance until the loan is paid off, liquidated, or subsequently modified. Since adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, we have evaluated all loan modifications under ASC 310-20 to determine whether a modification made to a borrower results in a new loan or is a continuation of the existing loan. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance: In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (“ASU 2016-13”) that introduced the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhances the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 and the impact of adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted: In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)(“ASU 2023-02”), which permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method, which was previously allowed only for low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) investments, if certain conditions are met. ASU 2023-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendment must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including assessing eligibility to apply the updated guidance to our investments in alternative energy partnerships currently accounted for using the HLBV method of the equity method of accounting.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) (which includes the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) and the reserve for unfunded noncancellable loan commitments (“RUC”)), loan repurchase reserve, realization of deferred tax assets, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and related purchase price allocation, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, other derivatives, hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) of investments in alternative energy partnerships, and the fair value measurement of financial instruments are particularly subject to change and such change could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Sale-leaseback Transaction	Sale-leaseback Transactions In January 2022, we completed a sale-leaseback transaction for $2.4 million and recognized a gain of $0.8 million. Gains related to sale-leaseback are included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies, and Recent Accounting Guidance

We have not made any changes in our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC, except for those described below, which reflect a new accounting policy adopted and the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-02:
