Reserve for loans impairments recorded after acquisition as a result of current information and events which result in it being probable that estimated cash flows will be less than previously expected or because actual cash flows are less than cash flows previously expected. This relates to loans not accounted for as debt securities, with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination that was acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable.
