Note 15: Operating Leases
The Company has three noncancellable operating leases, primarily for loan production offices, that expire in 2018. These leases do not contain any renewal options for subsequent periods and require the Bank to pay all executory costs such as taxes, maintenance and insurance. Rental expense for all leases was $48,666 and $21,266 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under operating leases are $5,188 for 2019, and there are no other contractual agreements.
Note 16: Commitments and Credit Risk
The Company grants commercial, consumer and residential loans to customers primarily located in the south central Texas region. The Company’s primary market area is comprised of Bee, Dewitt and Guadalupe and surrounding counties, along with Loan Production Offices located in Comal, Karnes and Nueces counties. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, the Company has concentrations of credit risk in the real estate market and is dependent on general economic conditions in the Company’s geographic market area.
Commitments to Originate Loans and Lines of Credit
Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.
Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit aggregating $27,626,432 and $31,558,857, respectively.
