NOTE 6 – LEASES
Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating
 
lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating
liabilities, included in other assets and liabilities, respectively,
 
on its Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
 
The Company’s operating
 
leases primarily relate to banking offices with remaining lease terms
 
from
1
 
to
42
 
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 an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
At March 31, 2024, the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $
26.2
 
million and $
26.8
 
million, respectively. At December
31, 2023, ROU assets and liabilities were $
27.0
 
million and $
27.4
 
million, respectively.
 
The Company does not have any finance
leases or any significant lessor agreements.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had
one
 
additional operating lease obligation for a banking office (to be constructed)
 
that has not yet
commenced.
 
The lease has payments totaling $
3.8
 
million based on an initial contract term of
15
 
years.
 
Payments for the banking
office are expected to commence after the construction period
 
ends, which is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2024.
A related party is the lessor in a land lease with the Company.
 
The payments under the lease agreement provide for annual lease
payments of approximately $
0.1
 
million annually through December 2033, and thereafter,
 
increase by
5
% every
10
 
years until 2053 at
which time the rent amount will adjust based on reappraisal of the parcel rental
 
value.
 
The Company then has
four
 
successive options
to extend the lease for
five years
 
each with rental increases of 5% at each extension.
 
The aggregate remaining obligation of the lease
totaled $
2.2
 
million at March 31, 2024.
