The Company invests in limited partnerships that operate qualified affordable housing projects to receive tax benefits in the form of tax deductions from operating losses and tax credits. The Company accounts for the investments using the proportional amortization method.

Previously, the amortization was recorded as other non-interest income. The Company recognized $1.7 million as a component of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 and recognized $1.4 million in affordable housing tax credits and other tax benefits during the year. After restatement, the Company recognized $1.9 million as a component of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 and recognized $2.0 million in affordable housing tax credits and other tax benefits during the previous year.
