The remaining receivables from such transaction were re-securitized in September 2010. The residual interest from this transaction was $854,000 and $4.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was determined using a discounted cash flow model that included estimates for prepayments and losses. The discount rate utilized was 20%. The assumptions utilized were based on our historical performance adjusted for current market conditions.
