Credit Loss Reserves

As discussed in prior filings, subsequent to the third quarter of 2016, all of our receivables are classified as held for sale and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. As a result, we did not have any credit loss reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The table below summarizes the changes in credit loss reserves for real estate secured receivables held for investment and the related receivable balance during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

⁽¹⁾	The provision for credit losses and charge-offs for real estate secured receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2016 included $13 million related to the initial lower of amortized cost or fair value adjustment attributable to credit factors for receivables transferred to held for sale. See Note 2, "Receivables Held for Sale," for additional information.

For collateral dependent receivables that were transferred to held for sale, existing credit loss reserves at the time of transfer were recognized as a charge-off. We transferred to held for sale certain real estate secured receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and, accordingly, we recognized the existing credit loss reserves on these receivables as additional charge-off totaling $20 million.

These amounts represent TDR Loans for which we evaluated reserves using a discounted cash flow methodology. Each loan was individually identified as a TDR Loan and then grouped together with other TDR Loans with similar characteristics. The discounted cash flow impairment analysis was then applied to these groups of TDR Loans. The receivable balance above excluded TDR Loans held for investment that were carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the collateral less cost to sell which totaled $211 million at March 31, 2016. The reserve component above excluded credit loss reserves totaling $9 million at March 31, 2016 for TDR Loans held for investment that were carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.
