Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company offers a loan hedging program to certain loan customers.  Through this program, the Company originates a variable rate loan with the customer.  The Company and the customer will then enter into a fixed interest rate swap. Lastly, an identical offsetting swap is entered into by the Company with a correspondent bank. These “back-to-back” swap arrangements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to book a variable rate loan, while providing the customer with a contract for fixed interest payments. In these arrangements, the Company’s net cash flow is equal to the interest income received from the variable rate loan originated with the customer. These customer swaps are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value in other assets and other liabilities.  The changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement in other income and fees.
