The outstanding interest rate swaps are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The effects of future fluctuations in LIBOR interest rates on derivatives held by the Company will result in the recording of unrealized gains and losses into the statement of operations. The Company recorded unrealized gain on derivatives of $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The liability for outstanding derivatives is recorded in other liabilities and in accrued expenses.
