The Company utilized interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swap does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

An interest rate swap with a notional amount totaling $15.0 million was entered into on June 28, 2012 and was designated as a cash flow hedge of certain Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The swap was determined to be fully effective during the period presented and therefore no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedge no longer be considered effective. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swap.

Summary information about the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge as of June 30, 2012 is as follows:
