# - Denotes a variance of more than 100%. (A) Computed on a trailing 12-month basis using total shareholder's equity as included in the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. (B) Computed on a trailing 12-month basis using total assets as included in the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. (C) Loans other than certain smaller-balance consumer loans (including loans impaired under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"), are placed on non-performing status when payments of principal or interest are 90 days past due or if, in management's opinion, the borrower is unlikely to meet its contractual obligations. When loans are placed on non-performing status, all previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current interest income. Cash receipts of interest on non-performing loans are recognized either as interest income or as a reduction of principal, based on management's judgment as to the ultimate collectibility of principal. Generally, a non-performing loan may be returned to performing status when all contractual amounts due are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period and the borrower shows sustained repayment performance, in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan or when the loan has become well-secured and is in the process of collection. (D) For smaller-balance consumer loans included in CFS loans, management establishes reserves it believes to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio. Generally, these loans are written off in full when an impairment is determined or when the loan becomes 120 or 180 days past due, depending on loan type.
