Derivatives and Hedging
 
The Company employs derivative instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, unrealized gains and losses on the effective portion are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity.  Unrealized gains and losses on the ineffective portion of all designated hedges are recognized in earnings in the current period.  For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, unrealized gains or losses are recognized in earnings in the current period. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges.
 
At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of interest rate swap assets of $1.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, was included in prepaid expense and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value of interest rate swap liabilities of $8.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.
