Note 7. Leases

Operating leases are recorded as a right of use (“ROU”) asset and operating lease liability. The ROU asset is recorded in other assets, while the lease liability is recorded in other liabilities on the condensed balance sheet beginning January 1, 2019, when the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, on a prospective basis. The ROU asset represents the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU asset and lease liability have been recognized based on the present value of the lease payments using a discount rate that represented our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date or the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02. The lease expense, which is comprised of the amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in occupancy expense in the condensed statements of income.

The Company’s current operating leases relate primarily to bank branches. The Company’s ROU asset was $763 thousand as of September 30, 2021 compared to $830 thousand as of December 31, 2020. The operating lease liability as of September 30, 2021 was $800 thousand compared to $891 thousand as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s total operating leases have remaining terms of  1-8 years; compared with 1-9 years as of December 31, 2020. The September 30, 2021 weighted average discount rate of 3.22% did not change from December 31, 2020.
