[1] The $45 million cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2010 was erroneously shown as a component of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and has been removed for financial reporting presentation. Therefore, Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) was previously shown as $572 million and now has been reflected at $527 million for financial reporting presentation purposes.

[2] Corrects the cumulative effect adjustment made to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2010 related to the consolidation of the student loan securitization trusts in discontinued operations. See Note 13 ("Acquisition, Divestiture and Discontinued Operations") for more information.
