NOTE 18 - DERIVATIVES

The Company regularly enters into commitments to originate and sell loans held for sale. The Company has established a hedging strategy to protect itself against the risk of loss associated with interest rate movements on loan commitments. The Company enters into contracts to sell forward TBA mortgage-backed securities. The Company also enters into best efforts and mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments with third party investors. These commitments and contracts are considered derivatives but have not been designated as hedging instruments for reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP. Rather, they are accounted for as free-standing derivatives, or economic hedges, with changes in the fair value of the derivatives reported in noninterest income or noninterest expense. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either other assets or other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value.

The following tables summarize the Company’s derivative instruments at the dates indicated:


	December 31, 2019
			Fair Value
	Notional		Asset		Liability
Fallout adjusted interest rate lock commitments with customers	$	33,914	$	557	$	—
Mandatory and best effort forward commitments with investors		43,752		—		195
Forward TBA mortgage-backed securities		46,000		—		8


	December 31, 2018
			Fair Value
	Notional		Asset		Liability
Fallout adjusted interest rate lock commitments with customers	$	29,432	$	503	$	—
Mandatory and best effort forward commitments with investors		24,776		—		34
Forward TBA mortgage-backed securities		51,500		—		540

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $46.0 million and $51.5 million of TBA trades with counterparties that required margin collateral of $1.2 million and $460,000, respectively. This collateral is included in interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives recognized in other noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income and included in gain on sale of loans resulted in a net gain of $303,000 and net loss of ($702,000) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
