We use dollar offset at the hedge's inception and for each reporting period thereafter to assess whether the derivative used in a hedging transaction is expected to be, and has been, effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item. Since inception, no portion of the hedged item has been deemed ineffective. For all hedges, we discontinue hedge accounting if it is determined that a derivative is not expected to be, or has ceased to be, effective as a hedge.

The Company’s interest rate swaps include provisions requiring the Company to post collateral when the derivative is in a net liability position.  At September 30, 2020, the Company has securities on deposit with fair market values of $1,197,000 (all of which is posted as collateral). At December 31, 2019, the Company had securities on deposit with fair market values of $294,000 (all of which was posted as collateral).
