Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of long-term debt, interest rate swaps, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximated their fair value. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, this standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy disclosed is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for identical asset or liabilities, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data. The Company has two Level 2 fair value measurements all of which relate to the Company’s interest rate swaps. The Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts to manage its targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt, and these swaps are valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps (market approach). These interest rate swaps are discussed in detail in Note 7. The following table presents financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
| Level 2 |  | Total Liabilities as of December 31, 2011 |
Interest rate swap liabilities | $ | 331,000 |  |  | $ | 331,000 |
| Level 2 |  | Total Liabilities as of December 31, 2010 |
Interest rate swap liabilities | $ | 351,000 |  |  | $ | 351,000 |
There were no non-recurring fair value measurements for the year ended December 31, 2011. Core Molding Technologies' derivative instruments included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:
| Balance Sheet Location |  | December 31, 2011 Fair Value |  |  | December 31, 2010 Fair Value |
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Interest rate risk activities | Interest rate swaps |  | $ | 331,000 |  |  | $ | 351,000 |
The effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income was as follows: Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships |  | Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative (Effective Portion) |  | Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion) |  | Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Expense (Effective Portion)
Year ended |  | December 31, 2011 |  | December 31, 2010 |  |  |  | December 31, 2011 |  | December 31, 2010
Interest rate swaps |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 27,000 |  |  | Interest expense, net |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (25,000 | )
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments |  | Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative |  | Amount of Realized/Unrealized Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives
Year ended |  |  |  | December 31, 2011 |  | December 31, 2010
Interest rate swaps |  | Interest expense |  | $ | (63,000 | ) |  | $ | (234,000 | )
During 2011 and 2010, the Company did not reclassify any amounts related to its cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings due to the probability that certain forecasted transactions would not occur. As discussed in Note 7, the Company discontinued the use of hedge accounting for its two interest rate swaps, effective March 31, 2009 for the Capex swap and January 1, 2010 for the IDRB swap. The Company now records all mark to market adjustments related to these interest rate swaps within interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. It is anticipated that during the next twelve months the expiration and settlement of cash flow hedge contracts along with the amortization of losses on discontinued hedges will result in income statement recognition of amounts currently classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of approximately $82,000, or $54,000 net of taxes.
