ASU No. 2023-02, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method." This update will allow reporting entities to consistently account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits or other income tax benefits. This update applies this to all reporting entities that hold (1) tax equity investments that meet the conditions for and elect to account for them using the proportional amortization method or (2) an investment in a low income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") structure through a limited liability entity that is not accounted for using the proportional amortization method and to which certain LIHTC specific guidance removed from Subtopic 323-740 has been applied. Additionally, the disclosure requirements apply to investments that generate income tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program for which the entity has elected to apply the proportional amortization method (including investments within that elected program that do not meet the conditions to apply the proportional amortization method). The amendments in this Update permit 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 if certain conditions are met. ASU 2023-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods in those years. The adoption of ASU 2023-02 did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements.

Transition for existing tax credits that qualify must be recognized using either a modified retrospective transition or a retrospective transition for all existing tax investments still expected to provide tax benefits and elected under ASU 2023-02 to apply proportional amortization method. The Company has elected to treat all existing tax credit investments requiring adjustment under ASU 2023-02 using the modified retrospective method approach.

The Company currently has recorded investments in 2 separate LIHTC structures as of March 31, 2024 totaling $2.3 million already using proportional amortization with a $54,000 benefit recorded to income tax expense in the first quarter of 2024 and $42,000 benefit in the first quarter of 2023. In addition, the Company has a historic rehabilitation tax credit that was previously recorded using the equity investment accounting method and had no residual book value or financial impact in either the current or prior year. The ASU 2023-02 day 1 adoption entry for this tax credit included the recording of a $40,000 investment and the write-off of a $444,000 gross timing difference (tax effective at $111,000) with a corresponding $71,000 reduction to retained earnings.

The Company has also elected to treat the following categories of tax credit investments under the proportional amortization method:

LIHTC- Low Income Housing Tax Credits
New Market Tax Credits
Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit
Renewable Energy Tax Credit
State Specific Tax Credits

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure, and determined that no further disclosures were required.
