[5] For the purpose of this presentation, for each row the total amount of financial instruments transferred or pledged and cash collateral (received) or pledged may not exceed the applicable gross amount of assets or (liabilities) as presented here. Therefore, the Company has reduced the amount of financial instruments transferred or pledged as collateral related to the Company's reverse repurchase agreements and cash collateral pledged on the Company's financial derivative liabilities. Total financial instruments transferred or pledged as collateral on the Company's reverse repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $1.63 billion and $1.94 billion, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total cash collateral on financial derivative assets excludes excess net cash collateral pledged of $17.6 million and $22.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total cash collateral on financial derivative liabilities excludes excess cash collateral pledged of $40.3 million and $23.2 million, respectively.
[6] When collateral is pledged to or pledged by a counterparty, it is often pledged or posted with respect to all positions with such counterparty, and in such cases such collateral cannot be specifically identified as relating to a specific asset or liability. As a result, in preparing the above tables, the Company has made assumptions in allocating pledged or posted collateral among the various rows.
