The Company utilizes 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.

 

Interest rate swaps with a notional amount totaling $15.0 million and $25.0 million were entered into on June 28, 2012 and July 15, 2013, respectively and were designated as cash flow hedges of certain Federal Home Loan Bank advances. A forward starting interest rate swap with a notional amount totaling $10.0 million was entered into on July 15, 2013 and was designated as a cash flow hedge of certain repurchase agreements.  The swaps were 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/(other liabilities)  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 if the hedge transactions becomes probable of not occurring. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swaps.
