Interest Rate Swap
On March 21, 2008, SHR entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America related to the $10.0 million (later increased to $14.0 million) term loan secured by plant, pipeline and equipment. The effective date of the interest rate swap agreement was August 15, 2008, and terminated on December 15, 2017. We received credit for payments of variable rate interest made on the term loan at the loan's variable rates, which are based upon the LIBOR, and paid Bank of America an interest rate of 5.83% less the credit on the interest rate swap. We originally designated the transaction as a cash flow hedge according to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Beginning on August 15, 2008, the derivative instrument was reported at fair value with any changes in fair value reported within other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company's Statement of Stockholders' Equity. We entered into the interest rate swap to minimize the effect of changes in the LIBOR rate.
Due to the new debt agreements associated with the acquisition of TC, we believed that the hedge was no longer entirely effective. Due to the time required to make the determination and the immateriality of the hedge, we began treating the interest rate swap as ineffective as of October 1, 2014.
