Derivatives
NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES
 
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures
 
that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of
 
which are determined by interest rates.
 
The Company’s
derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences
 
in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s
 
known or
expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally
 
related to the Company’s subordinated
 
debt.
 
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $
30
 
million at March 31, 2022 were designed as a cash flow hedge for subordinated
debt.
 
Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of
2.50
% and receive a variable interest rate based on
three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of
1.83
%.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate
 
risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently
 
reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported
 
in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives
will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the
 
Company’s variable-rate subordinated
 
debt.
