At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used for three purposes: 1) 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, at December 31, 2019 and 2018; 2) to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on certain fixed rate loans totaling $326.0 million and $286.1 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances totaling $541.5 million and $441.5 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as part of Other Assets for derivatives with positive fair values and Other Liabilities for derivatives with negative fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $18.0 million and $36.3 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $326.0 million and $267.8 million were designated as fair value hedges. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $541.5 million and $441.5 million, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effects earnings. The estimated amount to be reclassified in next 12 months out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings is $0.5 million.

Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are reflected in “Net 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 the periods indicated:

(1)	Derivatives in a net positive position are recorded as “Other assets” and derivatives in a net negative position are recorded as “Other liabilities” in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
