As a practical expedient, a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap for which the simplified hedge accounting approach (see paragraphs

The primary difference between settlement value and fair value is that [nonperformance risk](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonperformance-risk "The risk that an entity will not fulfill an obligation. Nonperformance risk includes, but may not be limited to, the reporting entity's own credit risk.") is not considered in determining settlement value. One approach for estimating the receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap's settlement value is to perform a present value calculation of the swap's remaining estimated cash flows using a valuation technique that is not adjusted for nonperformance risk.

If any of the conditions in paragraph [815-20-25-131D](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/20/#815-20-25-131D) for applying the simplified hedge accounting approach subsequently cease to be met or the relationship otherwise ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, the General Subsections of this Topic shall apply at the date of change and on a prospective basis. For example, if the related variable-rate borrowing is prepaid without terminating the receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap, the gain or loss on the swap in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be reclassified to earnings in accordance with paragraphs

[815-30-40-1 through 40-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/30/#815-30-40-1)

with the swap measured at fair value on the date of change and subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings in accordance with paragraph [815-10-35-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/10/#815-10-35-2). Similarly, if the receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap is terminated early without the related variable-rate borrowing being prepaid, the gain or loss on the swap in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be reclassified to earnings in accordance with paragraphs

[815-30-40-1 through 40-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/30/#815-30-40-1)

The accounting for changes in the fair value (that is, gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, on the reason for holding it. Subtopic 815-20 discusses the accounting for the gain or loss on a derivative instrument that is designated as a hedging instrument. Except as noted in the following paragraph, the gain or loss on a derivative instrument not designated as a hedging instrument shall be recognized currently in earnings.

An entity that does not report earnings as a separate caption in a statement of financial performance (for example, a not-for-profit entity \[NFP\] or a defined benefit pension plan) shall recognize the gain or loss on a nonhedging derivative instrument as a change in net assets in the period of change.
