Summary

FloorIT Bank Summary

Interest revenue without hedging

$ 278,125

Net income from Eurodollar call option hedges

3,125

Interest revenue with hedging

$ 281,250

Comment:  Whereas futures contract hedges lock in a fixed interest revenue, the call option contracts in this case only lock in an interest rate floor if interest rates plunge.  If interest rates soar, the call options expire worthless, but the interest revenue on the $25 million note receivable may rise above the hedged floor of $281,250.
