Other inputs to the valuation of these transactions at September 30, 2014 include weighted average quotes of 4% of notional, weighted average rating of A and Ambac CVA percentage of 2.41%. As of December 31, 2013, these contracts had a combined notional outstanding of $146,995, WAL of 1.0 years and liability fair value of $1,549. Other inputs to the valuation of these transactions at December 31, 2013 include weighted average quotes of 1% of notional, weighted average rating of A+ and Ambac CVA percentage of 8.7%.
Summary of Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Category
The following tables present the changes in the Level 3 fair value category for the periods presented in 2014 and 2013. Ambac classifies financial instruments in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the valuation model. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level 3 financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Thus, the gains and losses presented below include changes in the fair value related to both observable and unobservable inputs.
