Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 19. Derivative Financial Instruments At December 31, 2014, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swaps and at December 31, 2013, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of purchased options and interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on a portion ($18.0 million) of its floating rate junior subordinated debentures that have a contractual value of $61.9 million. Additionally, the Company at times may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on its fixed rate loans. The purchased options, which expired during 2014, were used to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on its financial liabilities without stated maturities. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 derivatives with a combined notional amount of $36.3 million and $118.0 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. Derivatives with a combined notional amount of $14.5 million and $11.2 million were designated as fair value hedges at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedges are reflected in “Net gain/loss from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative designated as a fair value hedge which is considered ineffective is reflected in “Net gain/loss from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2014:
