As a part of managing interest rate risk, the Bank entered into interest rate swap agreements to modify the re-pricing characteristics of certain interest-bearing liabilities. The Corporation has designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges under the guidance of ASC Subtopic 815-30, Derivatives and Hedging – Cash Flow Hedges. Cash flow hedges have the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative, net of taxes, recorded in net accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In March 2016, the Corporation entered into four interest rate swap contracts totaling $30.0 million notional amount, hedging future cash flows associated with floating rate trust preferred debt. These contracts include a three year $5.0 million contract that matured on June 17, 2019, a five year $5.0 million contract that matures on March 17, 2021, a seven year $5.0 million contract that matures on March 17, 2023 and a 10 year $15.0 million contract that matures on March 17, 2026.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts was $(1.6) million and $(133) thousand at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation recorded a decrease in the value of the derivatives of $1.4 million and the related deferred tax of $381 thousand in net accumulated other comprehensive loss to reflect the effective portion of cash flow hedges. ASC Subtopic 815-30 requires the net accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified to earnings if the hedge becomes ineffective or is terminated. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Corporation does not expect any losses relating to these hedges to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Interest rate swap agreements are entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and the Corporation believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts is not significant as of June 30, 2020.

The table below discloses the impact of derivative financial instruments on the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
