10. Leases

As of June 30, 2021, the Corporation leases real estate for five branch offices under various operating lease agreements. The lease agreements have maturity dates ranging from August 2025 to December 2056, including all extension periods. The Corporation has assumed that there are currently no circumstances in which the leases would be terminated before expiration.  The weighted average remaining life of the lease term for these leases was 12.23 years as of June 30, 2021 compared to 12.70 years as of  June 30, 2020.

The discount rate used in determining the lease liability for each individual lease was the FHLB fixed advance rate which corresponded with the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 for leases that existed at adoption.  This methodology will be continued for the commencement of any subsequent lease agreements.  The weighted average discount rate for the leases was 3.52% as of June 30, 2021 compared to 3.50% as of  June 30, 2020.

The total operating lease costs were $48,000 and $96,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and $48,000 and $96,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.  The right-of-use asset, included in premises and equipment, and lease liability, included in other liabilities, was $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2021, and $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020.
