[1] Global Banking includes loans to HSBC affiliates totaling $5,072 million and $4,607 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for which we do not carry an associated allowance for credit losses.
[2] For consumer loans and certain small business loans, these amounts represent TDR Loans for which we evaluate reserves using a discounted cash flow methodology. Each loan is individually identified as a TDR Loan and then grouped together with other TDR Loans with similar characteristics. The discounted cash flow analysis is then applied to these groups of TDR Loans. Loans individually evaluated for impairment exclude TDR loans that are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the collateral less cost to sell which totaled $763 million and $775 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
[3] Represents large multinational firms including globally focused U.S. corporate and financial institutions and U.S. dollar lending to multinational banking customers managed by HSBC on a global basis. Also includes loans to HSBC affiliates which totaled $5,072 million and $4,815 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. See Note 14, "Related Party Transactions," for additional information regarding loans to HSBC affiliates.
[4] The decrease in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2016 reflects the impact of the transfer of certain residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $369 million to held for sale during the first half of 2016.
[5] The decrease in past due loans at June 30, 2016 reflects the impact of the transfer of certain residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $369 million to held for sale during the first half of 2016. See Note 6, "Loans Held for Sale," for additional details.
