We estimate that the carrying value of the Credit Facility approximates the fair value due to the fact that the Credit Facility was entered into in close proximity to December 31, 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 we estimated the fair value of Facility 1 and Facility 2 of the revolving credit facility based on a present value analysis utilizing aggregate market yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar financial instruments. The carrying value for Facility 3 of the revolving credit facility approximated fair value due to the fact that the borrowings were made in close proximity to December 31, 2018.

The carrying amounts reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and Noncurrent restricted cash approximate fair value because they are highly liquid.

The carrying amounts reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for Prepaid expenses and Other current assets, Accrued expenses and Other short term liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

Qualifying Hedge Derivative

On November 14, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for the Term Loan with a notional amount of $20M which expires on December 1, 2024. The loan has a 10-year straight line amortization. A principal amount of $0.2 million is paid monthly. This interest rate swap converts the floating interest rate Term Loan to a fixed rate, plus a borrowing spread. The interest rate is variable based on LIBOR plus 3.50% and the Company’s fixed rate is 5.36%. The Company designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.

The Company entered into this interest rate swap to hedge exposure resulting from the interest rate risk. The purpose of this hedge is to reduce the variability of the interest rate based on LIBOR. The Company manages these exposures within specified guidelines through the use of derivatives. All of our derivative instruments are utilized for risk management purposes, and the Company does not use derivatives for speculative trading purposes.

The interest rate swap had a notional amount of $19.8 million and a fair value of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2019.

Based on these inputs the derivative liability is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The interest expense recorded as a result of the interest rate swap was $0.1 million as of December 31, 2019. The loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the derivative liability which was recorded in other long-term liabilities was $0.1 million as of December 31, 2019.
