In 2012 the Company’s former consumer finance business sold its inactive loan portfolio at a gain of $12.9 million, net of transaction, shutdown and other costs.
In 2008, the Company sold its Unitrin Business Insurance operations. The Company retained Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves for unpaid insured losses that occurred prior to the date of the sale. Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $69.3 million and $82.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for the retained liabilities. In accordance with GAAP, 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. See Note 5, “Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
