However, results outpaced the prior-year quarter’s earnings of 9 cents per share. The favorable outcome was due to a drop in operating expenses, though partially offset by a decline in interest and dividend income in the reported quarter. Net earnings for the quarter were $410 million, or $1.13 per share, significantly up from $281 million or 84 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Performance in Detail Total interest and dividend income for the quarter was $131 million, down 5% from $138 million in the prior-year quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on the company&#8217;s private finance debt investments as of June 30, 2011 was 10.5%, up 20 ]]></description>

This comprises about $100 million in fines and other penalties to resolve claims and about $46.5 million in additional taxes and assessments. The litigation was filed by the insurance regulators who alleged that AIG and its affiliates had deliberately reported more than $2 billion of its workers compensation premiums as general or commercial automobile liability premiums. Moreover, the the norms were violated quite a number of times between 1975 and 1996, which finally caught sight of the regulators. Accordingly, the $100 million fine money will be shared by all 50 states in the US. Other terms of the settlement also require AIG and its affiliates, who were involved in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[American Capital Ltd’s (ACAS) second quarter operating income of 9 cents per share had fallen short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents. The results were negatively affected due to a rise in debt refinancing costs. Last year, the results were in line with the earnings. Total interest and dividend income for the quarter was $138 million, up 9% from $127 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in interest and dividend income resulted from a 40 basis point spike in the weighted average effective interest rate on debt investments from December 31, 2009. Total asset management and other fee income for the quarter was $13 million. Total operating income in the second quarter of 2010 was $151 million, up 8.0% from $140 million in the prior-year quarter, attributed ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to reduce its exposure to legacy mortgage business, GMAC Financial Services of GMAC Inc. (GJM) yesterday announced a deal to sell its European mortgage business. The company said that its mortgage subsidiary, Residential Capital LLC, has agreed to sell its European mortgage assets and businesses to affiliates of certain funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (FIG). The deal represents about 10% of Residential Capital’s total assets as of Dec. 31, 2009. However, under the new accounting norms that became effective on Jan. 1, 2010, the transaction represents around 40% of total assets on a pro forma basis. The assets in the deal are valued at about the levels established in the fourth quarter of 2009, and GMAC expects no material gain or loss. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Bank of America (BAC) is planning to sell $460 million of commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS). The issue with a term of seven years will be collateralized by office buildings and industrial facilities in Florida. Fortress Investment Group (FIG) will back the deal. The bonds will have four tranches with $350 million carrying “AAA&#8221;, the highest rating grade. Since the maturity dates of the underlying loans are longer than that of Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility loans, the Bank of America deal will be disqualified for the TALF, which had just been expanded to include CMBS offerings. The slump in the property market, which has led to more than 40.0% fall in real estate values and the growing need for borrowers to repay mortgage loans, are raising the pressure ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Louis Basenese, Advisory Panelist When the credit markets froze solid last year, equities hit the skids, the economy tanked and so did the number of announced mergers and acquisitions (M&#38;A). But now the stock market’s on the mend. In my book, a 49% rally off the bottom for the S&#38;P 500 qualifies as healing. The economy’s showing signs of improvement. First-time jobless claims have dropped more than 15% since peaking in April. As for the M&#38;A market, well, it’s still suffering… Through the second quarter, volume dropped 40.2% worldwide. Deals involving U.S. companies fared worse, dropping 57.5%, according to Thomson Reuters. And July marked the first month in over a decade when not a single deal worth $5 billion or more was announced. But if you’re serious about investing, ]]></description>
