Derivatives

The Company enters into interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers which are offset with a corresponding swap agreement with a third party financial institution (“counterparty”). The Company has agreements with its counterparties that contain provisions that provide that if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. These agreements also require that the Company and the counterparty collateralize any fair value shortfalls that exceed $250,000 with eligible collateral, which includes cash and securities backed with the full faith and credit of the federal government. Similarly, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the agreement if specific regulatory events occur, such as if the Company were issued a prompt corrective action directive or a cease and desist order, or if certain regulatory ratios fall below specified levels. The Company pledged $216,000 and zero in available for sale securities to collateralize fair value shortfalls on interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $21.3 million and $23.6 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At December 31, 2015, the notional amount of interest rate swaps is made up of two swaps totaling $10.7 million variable to fixed rate swaps to commercial loan customers and two swaps totaling $10.7 million fixed to variable rate swaps with a counterparty. Changes in fair value from these four interest rate swaps offset each other in the 2015 and 2014. Additionally, the Company recognized $180,000 in fee income related to interest rate swaps in 2013 and did not recognize any fee income related to interest rate swaps in 2015 and 2014. Interest rate swap income is recorded in other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company also uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in the fair values of interest rate lock commitments. The Company enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans, and it enters into forward delivery contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers at specific prices and dates in order to hedge the interest rate risk in its residential mortgage loan commitments. Market risk with respect to commitments to originate loans arises from changes in the value of contractual positions due to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, RML had commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale totaling $71.3 million and $39.6 million, respectively. Changes in the value of RML's interest rate derivatives are recorded in the mortgage banking income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

None of the Company’s derivatives are designated as hedging instruments. Rather, they are accounted for as free-standing derivatives, or economic hedges, with changes in the fair value of the derivatives reported in income. The Company primarily utilizes forward interest rate contracts in its derivative risk management strategy.

Our derivative transactions with counterparties under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements that include “right of set-off” provisions. “Right of set-off” provisions are legally enforceable rights to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. We do not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.
