NOTE
5.
QUALIFIED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENTS
 
We have invested in
four
separate LIHTC partnerships, which provide the Company with CRA credit. Additionally, the investments in LIHTC partnerships provide us with tax credits and with operating loss tax benefits over an approximately
18
-year period. The tax credits and the operating loss tax benefits that are generated by each of the properties are expected to exceed the total value of the investments we made and provide returns on the investments of between
3%
and
5%
over the life of the investment.
None
of the original investments will be repaid.
 
Our investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships totaled
$2.9
million at
March 31, 2019.
These investments are recorded in
Other Assets
with a corresponding funding obligation of
$343
thousand recorded in
Other Liabilities
in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets
. The investments in LIHTC partnerships are being accounted for using the proportional amortization method, under which we amortize the initial cost of an investment in proportion to the amount of the tax credits and other tax benefits received, and recognize the net investment performance in the
Consolidated Statements of Income
as a component of income tax expense.
 
The following table presents our original investment in LIHTC partnerships, the current recorded investment balance, and the unfunded liability balance of each investment at
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018.
In addition, the table reflects the tax credits and tax benefits, amortization of the investment and the net impact to our income tax provision for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018.
