Interest Rate Swap

The interest rate swap fair value is derived from the present value of the difference in cash flows based on the forward-looking LIBOR yield curve rates, as compared to our fixed rate applied to the hedged amount through the term of the agreement, less adjustments for credit risk.  The current period gain was offset by an intra-period allocation of the income tax expense of $85 thousand between continuing operations and other comprehensive income.
