NAMA's CEO Brendan McDonagh has already indicated that he expects the agency to suffer an impairment charge for 2011. That will happen at the end of the year.

In its quarterly accounts today the agency said its operating profits during the second quarter was €118m.

NAMA redeemed €500m of bonds in issue during the quarter and has cash balances of over €1 billion and a further €182m of investment assets at the end of June.
