 rate of interest at 6.217% and receives an average variable rate of SOFR + 2.35% adjusted monthly. As of June 30, 2025, the variable rate was 6.67%.   The carrying amount for the Company’s derivative financial instrument is the estimated fair value of the financial instrument. The Company’s derivative is not exchange listed and therefore the fair value is estimated under a mark-to-market approach using an analytics model that is a readily observable market input. This model reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, such as notional value and expiration date, as well as market-based observables including interest rates, yield curves, and the credit quality of the counterparty. The model also incorporates the Company’s creditworthiness in order to appropriately reflect non-performance risk. Inputs to the derivative pricing model are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity, and accordingly, the Company’s derivative is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. While the Company believes its estimate results in a reasonable reflection of the fair value of the instrument, the estimated value may not be representative of actual value that could have been realized or that will be realized in the near future.  In accounting for the interest rate swap, the Company has determined it does not qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value of the swap agreement as of June 30, 2025 was a liability of $18,000 and December 31, 2024 was an asset of $60,000 and is included in either Other long-term assets or liabilities, accordingly, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement excludes accrued interest and takes into consideration current interest rates and current likelihood of the swap counterparty’s compliance with its contractual obligations. As a result of the interest rate swap, the Company recognized a net unrealized loss of $10,000 and $78,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to a net unrealized gain of $14,000 and $219,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which are included in Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
