(1) Includes $1.2 billion of commercial loans at December 31, 2010 related to a VIE which was consolidated.
 
Net deferred origination costs, excluding credit card annual fees net of direct lending costs, totaled $54 million and $66 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Credit card annual fees are netted with direct lending costs, deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over one year.
 
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had net unamortized premium on our loans of $63 million and $75 million, respectively. We amortized $10 million and $38 million of net premiums on our loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively compared to $14 million and $4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
 
Age Analysis of Past Due Loans The following table summarizes the past due status of our loans at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for continuing and discontinued operations. The aging of past due amounts is determined based on the contractual delinquency status of payments under the loan. An account is generally considered to be contractually delinquent when payments have not been made in accordance with the loan terms. Delinquency status may be affected by customer account management policies and practices such as re-age or modification.

(1) At September 30, 2011, discontinued credit card and private label credit card operations represent our GM and UP credit card loans as well as our private label credit card and closed-end loans which are included as held for sale and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. At December 31, 2010, these discontinued credit card and private label credit card loans were carried at amortized cost and as such, are not directly comparable to the current period balances.
 
Nonaccrual Loans Nonaccrual loans totaled $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Interest income that would have been recorded if such nonaccrual loans had been current and in accordance with contractual terms was approximately $30 million and $89 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $29 million and $111 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Interest income that was included in interest income on these loans was approximately $7 million and $16 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately $3 million and $17 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. For an analysis of reserves for credit losses, see Note 7, “Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Impaired Loans A loan is considered to be impaired when it is deemed probable that not all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will be collected. Probable losses from impaired loans are quantified and recorded as a component of the overall allowance for credit losses. Commercial and consumer loans for which we have modified the loan terms as part of a troubled debt restructuring are considered to be impaired loans. Additionally, commercial loans in nonaccrual status, or that have been partially charged-off or assigned a specific allowance for credit losses are also considered impaired loans.
 
Troubled debt restructurings Troubled debt restructurings represent loans for which the original contractual terms have been modified to provide for terms that are less than what we would be willing to accept for new loans with comparable risk because of deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition.
 
During the third quarter of 2011 we adopted a new Accounting Standards Update which provided additional guidance for determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR Loan”). Under this new guidance, we have determined that all consumer loans modified as a result of a financial difficulty for periods greater than three months, including all modifications with trial periods regardless of whether the modification was permanent or temporary should be reported as TDR Loans. Additionally, we have determined that for residential mortgage loans purchased from HSBC Finance, all re-ages except first-time early stage delinquency re-ages where the customer has not been granted a prior re-age since the first quarter of 2007 should be considered a TDR Loan. Exclusion of these first-time early stage delinquency re-ages from our reported TDR Loans was not material. As required, the new guidance was applied retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011 and has resulted in the reporting of an additional $51 million of residential mortgage loans as TDR Loans at September 30, 2011 with credit loss reserves of $10 million associated with these loans. The incremental loan loss provision recorded for these loans using a discounted cash flow analysis was $7 million which also includes the impact of changes in market conditions during the quarter. For our HSBC Bank USA credit card portfolio, we have reported an additional $1 million of credit card loans as TDR Loans at September 30, 2011 with credit loss reserves of less than $1 million associated with these loans. The incremental loan loss provision recorded for these loans using a discounted cash flow analysis was not material. The TDR Loan balances and related credit loss reserves for consumer loans reported as of December 31, 2010 use our previous definition of TDR Loans as described in our 2010 Form 10-K and, as such, are not comparable to the current period balances. The new guidance did not impact our reporting of TDR Loans for commercial loans. See Note 2, “Discontinued Operations,” for a discussion of TDR Loans included in our discontinued credit card and private label operations.
 
Modifications for consumer and commercial loans may include changes to one or more terms of the loan, including, but not limited to, a change in interest rate, extension of the amortization period, reduction in payment amount and partial forgiveness or deferment of principal. A substantial amount of our modifications involve interest rate reductions which lower the amount of finance income we are contractually entitled to receive in future periods. Through lowering the interest rate and other loan term changes, we believe we are able to increase the amount of cash flow that will ultimately be collected from the loan, given the borrower’s financial condition. TDR Loans are reserved for either based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ original effective interest rate which generally results in a higher reserve requirement for these loans or in the case of certain secured commercial loans, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Once a consumer loan is classified as a TDR Loan, it continues to be reported as such until it is paid off or charged-off.
 
The following table presents information about receivables which were modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and as a result of this action became classified as TDR Loans.

Concentrations of Credit Risk Our loan portfolio includes the following types of loans:
 
  •  High loan-to-value (“LTV”) loans – Certain residential mortgages on primary residences with LTV ratios equal to or exceeding 90 percent at the time of origination and no mortgage insurance, which could result in the potential inability to recover the entire investment in loans involving foreclosed or damaged properties.
 
  •  Interest-only loans – A loan which allows a customer to pay the interest-only portion of the monthly payment for a period of time which results in lower payments during the initial loan period. However, subsequent events affecting a customer’s financial position could affect the ability of customers to repay the loan in the future when the principal payments are required.
 
  •  Adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans – A loan which allows us to adjust pricing on the loan in line with market movements. A customer’s financial situation and the general interest rate environment at the time of the interest rate reset could affect the customer’s ability to repay or refinance the loan after the adjustment.
 
The following table summarizes the balances of high LTV, interest-only and ARM loans in our loan portfolios, including certain loans held for sale, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

(2) ARM loan balances above exclude $32 million and $99 million of sub-prime residential mortgage loans held for sale at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During the remainder of 2011 and during 2012, approximately $77 million and $340 million, respectively, of the ARM loans will experience their first interest rate reset.
 
Concentrations of first and second liens within the outstanding residential mortgage loan portfolio are summarized in the following table. Amounts in the table exclude residential mortgage loans held for sale of $2.0 billion and $1.0 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
