In November 2010 the Company entered into an interest rate swap designed to hedge the interest cash flows of its junior subordinated debentures. The swap became effective on March 15, 2011, which is the date on which the junior subordinated debentures switched from a fixed interest rate to a floating interest rate. The maturity date of the swap is March 15, 2018. The Company expects the hedge to be highly effective and it is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The unrealized gains and losses of the interest rate swap are being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the interest payment due dates when the balance remaining in other comprehensive income will be removed and charged or credited to interest expense. The swap is designed to make fixed rate payments at 3.795% to the counterparty and receive floating rate payments at three month LIBOR plus 1.33% from the counterparty. Government sponsored entity securities with a fair value of $1.481 million and cash of $2.251 million were pledged as collateral on the swap at March 31, 2012. Government sponsored entity securities with a fair value of $1.505 million and cash of $1.861 million were pledged as collateral on the swap at December 31, 2011.
