Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company enters into derivative financial instruments as part of its strategy to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that result in one party delivering cash to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying index (such as a rate, security price or price index) as specified in the contract. The amount of cash delivered from one party to the other is determined based on the interaction of the notional amount of the contract with the underlying index. The derivative financial instruments currently used by the Company to manage its exposure to interest rate risk include: (1) interest rate lock commitments provided to customers to fund certain mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market (although this type of derivative is negligible); and (2) interest rate caps to manage the interest rate risk of certain fixed and variable rate assets and variable rate liabilities. This footnote will address the latter. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company executed and designated two interest rate cap derivatives as cash flow hedges of short-term FHLB advances. The short-term FHLB advances rates will fluctuate with rate movements; therefore the Bank determined it was necessary to hedge against this increase in interest expense in a rising rate environment. The caps purchased will essentially set a ceiling on the rate paid on the FHLB advances, minimizing the risk associated with rate increases. Below is a summary of the interest rate cap derivatives held by the Company as of June 30, 2014. An initial premium of $2.1 million was paid for the two caps. The fair value of these assets will fluctuate with market value changes, as well as amortization of the initial premium to interest expense.
Effective Date | Maturity Date | Balance Sheet Location |  | Notional Amount |  | Accounting Treatment |  | Fair Value |
June 5, 2014 | June 5, 2019 | Other Assets |  | $ | 15,000,000 |  | Cash Flow Hedging |  | $ | 707,710 |
June 5, 2014 | June 5, 2021 | Other Assets |  |  | 15,000,000 |  | Cash Flow Hedging |  |  | 1,112,791 |
|  |  |  | $ | 30,000,000 |  |  |  | $ | 1,820,501 |
Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective hedges, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The following is a summary of how accumulated other comprehensive income was impacted during the reporting periods:
|  | Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 |
Unrealized loss at beginning of period |  | $ | - |
Amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense on FHLB Advances |  |  | - |
Amount of loss recognized in other comprehensive income |  |  | (251,149 | )
Unrealized loss at end of period |  | $ | (251,149 | )
Changes in the fair value related to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are reported in non-interest income during the period of the change. No portion of the change in fair value, both for the current period and year-to-date, was due to ineffectiveness. Derivative financial instruments are valued by the transaction counterparty on a monthly basis and corroborated by a third party annually. The company uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess and measure effectiveness in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
