12. Equity method investment

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company made contributions of $3.1 million in cash to the Black Economic Development Fund (the “Fund”) managed by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation for an aggregate of 5.0% ownership interest and income share in the Fund.

The Company has commitments to contribute additional capital of $9.4 million to the Fund by December 2023. Given the level of ownership interest in the Fund, which is a limited liability company, and the fact that the Fund maintains specific ownership accounts for investors, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. The Fund is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and the Company's share of the Fund’s net earnings and impairment charges on investments are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as other income (expense), net of tax.

The Company's proportionate share of the Fund's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was recorded as other expense, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the Fund was $2.7 million.
