(3) As noted above in “Cash flow hedges used for asset and liability management”, interest rate caps are used to hedge interest rate risk associated with the Subordinated Note. With the repayment of the Subordinated Note in the second quarter of 2011, this cap is no longer designated as a cash flow hedge and, as a result, a loss of $1.3 million, net of tax, has been reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to other expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
