Interest was no longer accrued on Ambac’s debt obligations included in Liabilities subject to compromise on the Consolidated Balance Sheets after Ambac filed for bankruptcy protection on November 8, 2010. If Ambac had continued to accrue interest on its debt obligations, contractual interest expense would have been $20,277 and $44,439 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and $28,645 and $57,221 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The lower interest expense in 2012 is due to the maturity of certain debt obligations in 2011.
