NOTE 13.       INTEREST RATE SWAP

During April 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for the $25.0 million mortgage note payable as discussed in Note 12, “Long-Term Debt.” During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the interest rate swap agreement was 100% effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value on the interest rate swap has been classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement, which was a gain of approximately $607,000 and $417,000, respectively, was included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap was effective on April 7, 2016 and matures on April 7, 2021. The interest rate swap fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $25.0 million to a rate of 3.17%.
