Loans to all employees, officers, and directors of the Company constituted approximately 2.1% and 4.4% of the Company’s total shareholders' equity at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company leased office space from a related party during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The lease is with a company in which the related party, who is a director of the Company, has an ownership interest. The Company incurred rent expense of $89,800, $88,100 and $87,600 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to this lease. Management is of the opinion that the transactions with respect to office rent were made on terms that are comparable to those which would be made with unaffiliated persons.
