ASSET QUALITY 24 Management continues to remain attentive to any signs of deterioration in borrowers’ financial conditions and is proactive in taking the appropriate steps to mitigate risk . The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0 . 97 % at June 30 , 2023 , compared to 0 . 95 % at March 31 , 2023 . At June 30 , 2023 , the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 341 . 4 % , compared to 328 . 5 % , at March 31 , 2023 . 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 .
