Note E – Leases

The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business primarily for branch buildings and office space to conduct business. The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from 9 months to 16.5 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years.

The Company includes lease extension and termination options in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic factors, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. In addition, the Company has elected to account for any non-lease components in its real estate leases as part of the associated lease component. The Company has also elected to not recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) on the Company’s balance sheet.

Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. At December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any finance leases.

The Company’s operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are valued based on the present value of future minimum lease payments, discounted with an incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The Company has one lease arrangement that contains variable lease payments that are adjusted periodically for an index. Upon adoption of the new lease guidance on January 1, 2019, an initial ROU asset of $1,280 was recognized as a non-cash asset addition to the consolidated balance sheet.
