Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and are measured at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and resulting designation. The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of interest payments at specified intervals between two parties without the exchange of any underlying principal. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the derivative recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.  The hedges were determined to be effective and the Company expects the hedges to remain effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.

The Company entered into two $5 million notional interest rate swaps that have been designated as cash flow hedges on 90-day advances from FHLB.  The purpose of these cash flow hedges is to reduce potential interest rate risk by swapping a variable rate borrowing to a fixed rate. Management deemed it prudent to limit the variability of these interest payments by entering into these interest rate swap agreements. These agreements provide for the Company to receive payments at a variable rate determined by a specific index (three-month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate. Publication of LIBOR is expected to cease in June of 2023. The swap agreements allow for substitution of an alternative reference rate such as the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) at that time.

The changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps are reported in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period that the hedged transactions affect earnings. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $60,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the change in fair value for these derivative instruments was $337,000 and $(137,000), respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of interest rate swap derivatives resulted in an asset of $200,000 and a liability of $137,000, respectively, and is recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively.

   The credit risk associated with these interest rate swaps is the risk of default by the counterparty. To minimize this risk, the Company only enters into interest rate swaps agreements with highly rated counterparties that management believes to be creditworthy. The notional amounts of these agreements do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a measure of the potential loss exposure. Risk management results for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, related to the balance sheet hedging of $10.0 million and $5.0 million, of 90-day FHLB advances, included in borrowings, respectively, indicate that the hedge was 100% effective, and there was no component of the derivative instruments’ unrealized gain or loss which was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company posted $526,000 and $525,000, respectively, of cash to the counterparty as collateral on its interest rate swap contracts, which was presented within cash and due from banks on the consolidated balance sheets.
