Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company periodically enters into certain commercial loan interest rate swap agreements in order to provide commercial loan customers the ability to convert from variable to fixed interest rate payments, while the bank retains a variable rate loan. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable rate loan agreement and a swap agreement with the client. The swap agreement effectively converts the client’s variable rate loan into a fixed rate. The Company enters into a corresponding swap agreement with a third party in order to offset its exposure on the variable and fixed components of the client's swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreements with the clients and third parties are not designated as hedges under ASC 815, the Derivatives and Hedging topic; the instruments are marked to market in earnings. The notional amount of open interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2014 was $110,462,000 compared to $83,594,000 as of September 30, 2013. There was no impact to the statement of operations for the six-months ended March 31, 2014 as the asset and liability side of the swaps offset each other. The fee income related to swaps was $273,200 for the six months ended March 31, 2014.
