Derivatives [Abstract]

Derivatives

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES 

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the

receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s

derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or

expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s subordinated debt. 

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $

30

 million at March 31, 2021 were designed as a cash flow hedge for subordinated

debt. Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of

2.50

% and receive a variable interest rate based on

three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of

1.83

%.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in

accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during

which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives

will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate subordinated debt.
