ABS CREDIT LOSS ESTIMATE SIGNIFICANT INPUTS [Table Text Block]

	At December 31,						2011		2010

	Loss severity rate						53.5%		65.0%

Our assumptions on default and loss severity rates are established based on an assessment of actual experience to date for each CLO Debt and review of recent credit rating agencies’ default and loss severity forecasts. Based on the underlying collateral values and our projected cash flows at December 31, 2011, our CLO Debt had sufficient credit protection levels to receive all contractually obligated principal and interest payments.
