Note 5 – Leases

The Company is obligated under operating leases for its branch loan offices and home office locations. The operating leases are recorded as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities. The ROU asset is included in other assets and the corresponding liability is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligations for lease payments in accordance with the lease. Recognition of ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commitment 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 commitment date or adoption date. Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in occupancy expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

Remaining lease terms range from 1 to 10 years. The Company’s leases are not complex and do not contain residual value guarantees, variable lease payments, or significant assumptions or judgments made in applying the requirements of Topic 842. Operating leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At June 30, 2020 the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $32.6 million and $33.0 million, respectively.
