Cash flow hedges

We have entered into four pay-fixed/receive LIBOR interest rate swaps as follows:

• A $30 million notional interest rate swap expiring on October 18, 2020, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $30 million of variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 2.89% and receive a variable rate equal to one month LIBOR.   

• A $40 million notional interest rate swap expiring on October 18, 2021, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $40 million of variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 2.19% and receive a variable rate equal to three month LIBOR.

• A $20 million notional interest rate swap with an effective date of October 18, 2021 and expiring on October 18, 2023, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $20 million of forecasted variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 1.07% and receive a variable rate equal to three month LIBOR.

• A $20 million notional interest rate swap with an effective date of October 18, 2021 and expiring on October 18, 2024, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $20 million of forecasted variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 1.1055% and receive a variable rate equal to three month LIBOR.

In addition, we have entered into one interest rate cap to hedge the risk of variability in its cash flows above .75% of the three month LIBOR benchmark interest rate.

• A $100 million notional interest rate cap with an effective date of July 20, 2020 and expiring on April 18, 2030, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $100 million of forecasted fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this cap we will hedge the variability of cash flows when three month LIBOR is above .75%.

Fair value hedges

We have entered into two pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps to hedge fair value variability of two commercial fixed rate loans with the same principal, amortization, and maturity terms of the underlying loans, which are designated as fair value hedges as follows:

• Under the terms of a $9.95 million original notional interest rate swap expiring January 15, 2025, we will pay a fixed rate of 4.33% and receive a variable rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 2.40 percent.

• Under the terms of a $11.3 million original notional interest rate swap expiring January 15, 2026, we will pay a fixed rate of 4.30% and receive a variable rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 2.18 percent.

Loan commitments:  ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that commitments to make mortgage loans should be accounted for as derivatives if the loans are to be held for sale, because the commitment represents a written option and accordingly is recorded at the fair value of the option liability.
