Interest Rate Swap
Interest Rate Swaps
As discussed in Note 3, as a result of the CRI acquisition and in conjunction with the term loan obtained in August 2013, to mitigate the variability of the interest rate risk, the Company entered into the CRI swap on August 9, 2013 with its current bank. The CRI swap has an initial notional amount of $4,033,250 with a fixed interest rate of 4.83 percent and a term of ten years that expires on August 19, 2023. The notional amount of the swap decreases as monthly principal payments are made. Also, as discussed in Note 3, as a result of the Palmer acquisition and in conjunction with the term loan obtained in August 2012 to mitigate the variability of the interest rate risk, the Company entered into the Palmer swap on August 21, 2012 with its current bank. The Palmer swap has an initial notional amount of $22,500,000 with a fixed interest rate of 3.74 percent, and a term of ten years that expires on August 21, 2022. The notional amount of the interest rate swap decreases as monthly principal payments are made.
Although the swaps are expected to effectively offset variable interest in the borrowing, hedge accounting will not be utilized. Therefore, changes in their fair value are recorded in current assets or liabilities, as appropriate, with corresponding offsetting entries to other expense. The Company recorded an $80,000 liability for the fair value of the CRI swap as of December 28, 2013. The Company recorded a $301,000 asset and a $450,000 liability for the fair value of the Palmer swap at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.
