6. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its Bayshore bank loan. In 2004, in order to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, Bayshore entered into an interest rate swap contract under which it agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified rate of 7.57% times a notional principal approximating the outstanding loan balance, and to receive in return an amount equal to the one-month LIBOR Rate (.21% at December 31, 2012) plus 2.45%. The Company designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of the cash flow hedge was a loss of $1,965,000 and $1,975,000, respectively, which has been recorded as other comprehensive loss and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap contract.

In conjunction with the March 2011 Bayshore bank loan amendment and restatement, the interest rate swap agreement to manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuation through the entire term of the mortgage was also amended. Bayshore paid a fixed fee of $198,400 for partial settlement per the terms of the amended swap agreement. The effect of the swap agreement remains the same which is to provide a fixed interest rate of 7.57%.
