Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives | DERIVATIVES The Company utilizes a variety of derivative instruments to economically hedge a portion of its exposure to market risks, primarily interest rate risk. The principal instruments used to hedge these risks are interest rate swaps and Eurodollar futures. The objective of the Company's risk management strategy is to protect the Company's earnings from rising interest rates and to mitigate declines in book value resulting from fluctuations in the fair value of the Company's assets from changing interest rates. The Company seeks to limit its exposure to changes in interest rates but does not seek to eliminate this risk. Effective June 30, 2013, the Company voluntarily discontinued hedge accounting for interest rate swaps which had previously been accounted for as cash flow hedges under GAAP. The Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for its interest rate swap agreements in order to gain greater flexibility in managing the maturities of its repurchase agreement borrowings. In addition, the Company began purchasing Eurodollar futures during the third quarter of 2013. Please refer to Note 1 for additional information related to the Company's accounting policy for its derivative instruments. The table below summarizes information about the Company’s derivative instruments on its consolidated balance sheet as of the dates indicated:

The tables below summarize the effect of the Company's interest rate derivatives reported in "loss on derivative instruments, net" on the Company's consolidated statements of net income for the periods indicated:

Type of Derivative Instrument |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Interest rate swaps |  | $ | 9,315 |  |  | $ | (908 | ) |  | $ | (2,825 | )

Loss on derivative instruments, net |  | $ | (10,076 | ) |  | $ | (908 | ) |  | $ | (2,825 | )
The Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has a net unrealized loss in AOCI of $9,365 which relates to the interest rate swap agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges. This net unrealized loss will be recognized into the Company's consolidated statement of net income as a portion of "interest expense" over the remaining contractual life of the agreements. All forecasted transactions associated with interest rate swap agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges are expected to occur. No amounts have been reclassified to net income in any period in connection with forecasted transactions that are no longer considered probable of occurring. The Company estimates the portion of existing net unrealized loss on discontinued cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months is $6,767. The Company reclassified $13,989 from AOCI to its consolidated statement of net income for the year ended December 31, 2013, of which $5,193 related to amortization of the net unrealized loss remaining in AOCI at the time the Company discontinued its cash flow hedge accounting and the remainder related to recognition of interest expense from cash flow hedging transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815. The Company reclassified $14,448 and $11,604 from AOCI to its consolidated statements of net income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, related to cash flow hedging transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815. Many of the Company's interest rate swaps were entered into under bilateral agreements which contain various covenants related to the Company’s credit risk. Specifically, if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including those circumstances whereby repayment of the indebtedness has not yet been accelerated by the lender, or is declared in default of any of its covenants with any counterparty, then the Company could also be declared in default under the bilateral agreement. Additionally, these agreements allow those counterparties to require settlement of its outstanding derivative transactions if the Company fails to earn GAAP net income excluding derivative gains and losses greater than one dollar as measured on a rolling two quarter basis. These interest rate agreements also contain provisions whereby, if the Company fails to maintain a minimum net amount of shareholders’ equity, then the Company may be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under bilateral agreements on December 31, 2013.
