Financial Instruments and Risk Management Financial Instruments and Risk Management
 
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS — The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded primarily with credit worthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statement of Income. Certain interest rate derivative contracts were accounted for as hedges and gain or loss associated with recording the fair value of these contracts was deferred in AOCI until the anticipated transactions occur. As of March 31, 2021, all current commodity derivative activity is immaterial.
 
At March 31, 2021 there was $0.9 million cash deposit and at December 31, 2020 the cash deposit was $0.6 million related to commodity derivative contracts reported in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These cash deposits have not been used to increase the reported net assets or reduce the reported net liabilities on the derivative contracts at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Interest Rate Risks

Under hedge accounting rules, the Company deferred the net charge or benefit associated with the interest rate swap entered into to manage the variability in interest payments for the variable-rate debt in association with $150.0 million of our outstanding term loan dated August 27, 2019 until the debt was repaid on January 29, 2021. At that time the hedge was de-designated and hedge accounting no longer applies as mark-to-market gains and losses were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of income in interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 there were unrealized gains of $0.4 million and realized losses of $0.2 million.The balance of the unrealized gain in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) is being amortized out of accumulated comprehensive
income (loss) to interest expense over the remaining term of the initial loan and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 the amount amortized was $0.2 million, leaving a remaining balance of $2.3 million at March 31, 2021.
