During 2011, Fireside sold its active portfolio of automobile loan receivables while retaining its inactive portfolio of loans that had been previously charged-off (the “Inactive Portfolio”). The Inactive Portfolio is not carried on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the first quarter of 2012, Fireside sold $283 million of loans in the Inactive Portfolio at a gain of $11.3 million, net of transaction, shutdown and other costs of $14.9 million, of which $8.7 million was unpaid at March 31, 2012.
Note 2 - Discontinued Operations (continued)
The Company has retained Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves for unpaid insured losses of its former Unitrin Business Insurance operations that occurred prior to June 1, 2008, the effective date of the sale of such operations. Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include $117.3 million and $125.6 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, for such retained liabilities. Changes in the Company’s estimate of such retained liabilities after the sale are reported as a separate component of the results of discontinued operations.
