Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk We make commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit 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. Because various commitments will expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We are exposed to credit loss equal to the contractual amount of the commitment in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. We use the same credit underwriting criteria for all credit exposure. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral types pledged may include accounts receivable, inventory, other personal property and real property. The contractual amount of undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit not reflected on the consolidated statements of condition are as follows:
(in thousands) | March 31, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016 |
Commercial lines of credit | $ | 214,491 |  | $ | 216,774 |
Revolving home equity lines | 155,234 |  | 148,143 |
Undisbursed construction loans | 33,498 |  | 44,798 |
Personal and other lines of credit | 10,741 |  | 10,635 |
Standby letters of credit | 1,829 |  | 1,939 |
Total commitments and standby letters of credit | $ | 415,793 |  | $ | 422,289 |
We record an allowance for losses on these off-balance sheet commitments based on an estimate of probabilities of these commitments being drawn upon according to our historical utilization experience on different types of commitments and expected loss. We set aside an allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments in the amount of $1.1 million and $899 thousand as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which is recorded in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. Operating Leases We rent certain premises under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through the year 2032. Most of the leases contain certain renewal options and escalation clauses. At March 31, 2017, the approximate minimum future commitments payable under non-cancelable contracts for leased premises are as follows:
(in thousands) | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | Thereafter |  | Total |
Operating leases 1 | $ | 2,928 |  | $ | 3,932 |  | $ | 3,739 |  | $ | 3,420 |  | $ | 2,138 |  | $ | 4,234 |  | $ | 20,391 |
1 Minimum payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $126 thousand due in the future under non-cancelable subleases. Rent expense included in occupancy expense totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Litigation Matters We may be party to legal actions which arise from time to time during the normal course of business. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that litigation contingent liability, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are responsible for our proportionate share of certain litigation indemnifications provided to Visa U.S.A. ("Visa") by its member banks in connection with lawsuits related to anti-trust charges and interchange fees ("Covered Litigation"). Visa maintains an escrow account from which settlements of, or judgments in, the Covered Litigation are paid. While the accrual related to the Covered Litigation could be higher or lower than the litigation escrow account balance, Visa did not record an additional accrual for the Covered Litigation during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, according to the latest SEC Form 10-Q filed by Visa, Inc. on April 21 2017, the balance of the escrow account was $978.0 million. In 2012, Visa reached a $4.0 billion interchange multidistrict litigation class settlement agreement. However, in February 2017, a number of class plaintiffs sought to either file an amended complaint for damages or file a new class complaint against Visa claiming for putative injunction relief. Visa has reached settlement agreements with individual merchants representing 34% of the sales volume of merchants who opted out of the 2012 Settlement Agreement. Litigation is ongoing and until the appeal process is complete, Visa is uncertain whether it will resolve the claims as contemplated by the settlement agreement and additional lawsuits may arise. The conversion rate of Visa Class B common stock held by us to Class A common stock (as discussed in Note 4 above) may decrease if Visa makes more Covered Litigation settlement payments in the future, and the full effect on member banks is still uncertain. However, we are not aware of significant future cash settlement payments required by us on the Covered Litigation.
