FDIC LOSS SHARING ASSET

NOTE 7—FDIC LOSS SHARING ASSET

        The FDIC loss sharing asset was initially recorded at fair value, which represented the present value of the estimated cash payments to be received from the FDIC for future losses on covered assets. The ultimate collectibility of this asset is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered assets, the passage of time and claims paid by the FDIC.

        An increase in the expected amount of losses on the covered assets will increase the FDIC loss sharing asset; such increase is recognized through a credit to FDIC loss sharing income. Recoveries on previous losses paid to us by the FDIC reduce the FDIC loss sharing asset by a charge to FDIC loss sharing income. In addition, decreases in the expected amount of losses on covered assets will decrease the amount of funds expected to be collected from the FDIC and will therefore reduce the FDIC loss sharing asset. These decreases are recognized as a charge to FDIC loss sharing income as the related loss sharing asset is amortized over its estimated remaining life.

        The following table presents the changes in the FDIC loss sharing asset for the period indicated:
