Note 12: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement. Certain agreements provide the Company the right to cancel or reduce its obligations to lend to customers. The portions that are not cancellable unconditionally by the Company aggregated $34,226 thousand at December 31, 2021. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. Loan commitments are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies and collateral requirements. Unfunded loan commitments were $233,850 thousand at December 31, 2021 and $277,878 thousand at December 31, 2020. Standby letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support customers’ short-term financing requirements and must meet the Company’s normal credit policies and collateral requirements. Financial and performance standby letters of credit outstanding totaled $3,693 thousand at December 31, 2021 and $2,357 thousand at December 31, 2020. Commitments for commercial and similar letters of credit totaled $95 thousand at December 31, 2021 and there were no such outstanding commitments at December 31, 2020. The Company had $580 thousand in outstanding full recourse guarantees to a 3rd party credit card company at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, the Company had a reserve for unfunded commitments of $201 thousand for the above-mentioned loan commitments of $34,226 thousand that are not cancellable unconditionally by the Company. The Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments was $101 thousand at December 31, 2020. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities.

 

The Company determined that it will be obligated to provide refunds of revenue recognized in years prior to 2018 to some customers. The Company initially estimated the probable amount of these obligations to be $5,542 thousand and accrued a liability for such amount in 2017; based on additional information received in the second quarter 2019, the Company increased such liability to $5,843 thousand by recognizing an expense of $301 thousand. The Company paid $452 thousand and $4,410 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, to customers eligible for refunds. The remaining accrued obligations at December 31, 2021 totaled $981 thousand, included in other liabilities.

 

Due to the nature of its business, the Company is subject to various threatened or filed legal cases. Based on the advice of legal counsel, the Company does not expect such cases will have a material, adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. Legal liabilities are accrued when obligations become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
