COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND RESTRICTIONS [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND RESTRICTIONS |
NOTE N: | COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND RESTRICTIONS
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, generally having fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. These commitments consist principally of unused commercial and consumer credit lines. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of an underlying contract with a third party. The credit risks associated with commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness. The fair value of the standby letters of credit is immaterial for disclosure. The contract amounts of commitments and contingencies are as follows at December 31:
(000's omitted) |  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Commitments to extend credit |  | $ | 1,080,004 |  |  | $ | 773,442 |
Standby letters of credit |  |  | 23,782 |  |  |  | 22,656 |
Total |  | $ | 1,103,786 |  |  | $ | 796,098 |
The Bank has unused lines of credit of $25.0 million at December 31, 2017. The Bank has unused borrowing capacity of approximately $1.68 billion through collateralized transactions with the FHLB and $22.9 million through collateralized transactions with the Federal Reserve. The Company is required to maintain a reserve balance, as established by the Federal Reserve. The required average total reserve for the 14-day maintenance period of December 21, 2017 through January 3, 2018 was $84.8 million, with $73.2 million represented by cash on hand and the remaining $11.6 million was required to be on deposit with the Federal Reserve. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. As of December 31, 2017, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. On at least a quarterly basis the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. The range of reasonably possible losses for matters where an exposure is not currently estimable or considered probable, beyond the existing recorded liabilities, is between $0 and $1 million in the aggregate. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending litigation will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations for a particular reporting period in the future.
