On September 8, 2010, the lender protection insurance related to the Company's credit facility with Ableco Finance, LLC ("Ableco") was terminated and settled pursuant to a claims settlement agreement, resulting in our receipt of an insurance claims settlement of approximately $96.9 million. The Company used approximately $64.0 million of the settlement proceeds to pay off the credit facility with Ableco in full and the remainder was used to pay off the amounts borrowed under the grid promissory note in favor of CTL Holdings, LLC.

 

 
As a result of this settlement transaction, our subsidiary, Imperial PFC Financing, LLC, a special purpose entity, agreed to reimburse the lender protection insurer for certain loss payments and related expenses by remitting to the lender protection insurer all amounts received in the future in connection with the related premium finance loans issued through the Ableco credit facility and the life insurance policies collateralizing those loans until such time as the lender protection insurer has been reimbursed in full in respect of its loss payments and related expenses.
 
Under the lender protection program, the Company pays lender protection insurance premiums at or about the time the coverage for a particular loan becomes effective. The Company records this amount as a deferred cost on our balance sheet, and then expense the premiums over the life of the underlying premium finance loans using the effective interest method. As of September 8, 2010, the deferred premium costs associated with the Ableco facility totaled $5.4 million. Since these insurance claims have been prepaid and Ableco has been repaid in full, the Company accelerated the expensing of these deferred costs and recorded this $5.4 million expense as amortization of deferred costs. Also in connection with the termination of the Ableco facility, the Company accelerated the expensing of approximately $980,000 of deferred costs which resulted from professional fees related to the creation of the Ableco facility. The Company recorded these charges as Amortized Deferred Costs. In the aggregate, we accelerated the expensing of $6.4 million in deferred costs as a result of this one-time transaction which was recorded during the third quarter of 2010.
 
The insurance claim settlement of $96.9 million was recorded as lender protection insurance claims received in advance on our consolidated and combined balance sheet. As the premium finance loans mature and in the event of default, the insurance claim is applied against the premium finance loan. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has approximately $1.1 million remaining of lender protection insurance claims paid in advance related to premium finance loans which have not yet matured. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has approximately $893,000 of loans receivable, net and $173,000 of interest receivable, net in premium finance loans which have not yet matured for which this insurance claims settlement relates. All of the remaining premium finance loans matured by August 5, 2011.
