NOTE 10 Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and as of December 31, 2021 a $0.4 million operating lease right-of-use asset and an offsetting lease payment obligation liability were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities, respectively.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Because the Company only has operating leases and the right-of-use asset is offset by a lease payment obligation liability, the lease payments are the only amount that is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company’s leases relate to office space and Bank branches with remaining lease terms between 8 and 40 months. Certain leases contain extension options which typically range from 3 to 10 years. Because these extension options are not considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term.
