DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2014 and 2015 that call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates of 1.67% and 1.83% on an aggregate notional value of $31.8 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on these notional values. The general purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to provide protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs for the Company. The fair value of these derivative instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was a liability of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The unrealized change in fair market value was gains of $0.1 million and losses of $0.4 million on these derivative instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and gains of $0.3 million and losses of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
