On January 1 , 2023 , the Company implemented the accounting rules for the measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”) . The January 1 , 2023 , or “Day 1 ” tax - effected transitional impact to retained earnings was $ 9 , 000 due to the following : a decrease in the pooled credit reserve of $ 931 , 000 and the establishment of a reserve liability for unfunded commitments of $ 918 , 000 . Additionally, the allowance for credit losses includes $ 2 . 1 million in reserves related to purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans . For PCD loans, the allowance for credit losses recorded is recognized through a gross - up that increases the amortized cost basis of loans with a corresponding increase to the allowance for credit losses, and therefore results in no impact to shareholders' equity .
