7. Subsequent Events

The Company has reviewed and evaluated subsequent events and transactions for material subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. Management has concluded that there were no material subsequent events other than the event noted below.

 

On October 19, 2018, the Bank received a draft audit report from the North Carolina Department of Revenue (“NCDOR”) setting forth certain proposed adjustments to the North Carolina income tax returns for the Bank for the tax years January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016.  The NCDOR is seeking to disallow certain tax credits taken by the Bank in tax years January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 from an investment made by the Bank.  The total proposed adjustments sought by the NCDOR as of the date of the draft audit report (including additional tax, penalties and interest up to the date of the draft audit report) is approximately $1.4 million.  The Bank disagrees with the NCDOR’s proposed adjustments and the disallowance of certain tax credits, and intends to challenge the proposed adjustments and the disallowance of such tax credits.  The Bank purchased a Guaranty Agreement along with this tax credit investment that unconditionally guarantees the amount of its investment plus associated penalties and interest which we believe would limit the Bank’s exposure to approximately $150,000.  The Tax Credit Guaranty Agreement from State Tax Credit Exchange, LLC dated September 10, 2014 is attached to this Form 10-Q as Exhibit 99.
