Citigroup (C)

Accounting and Regulatory Capital Treatment

        Citigroup accounts for the loss-sharing agreement as an indemnification agreement pursuant to the guidance in ASC 805-20-30-18, Business Combinations. Citigroup recorded an asset of $3.617 billion (equal to the fair value of the consideration issued to the USG) in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The asset will be amortized as an Other operating expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income on a straight-line basis over the coverage periods of 10 years and five years, respectively, based on the relative initial principal amounts of each group. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, Citigroup recorded $122 million and $412 million, respectively, as an Other operating expense.

        Under indemnification accounting, recoveries (gains), if any, will be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the same future periods that cumulative losses recorded under U.S. GAAP on the covered assets exceed the $39.5 billion first-loss amount. The Company will recognize and measure an indemnification asset on the same basis that it recognizes losses on the covered assets in the Consolidated Statement of Income. For example, for a covered loan classified as held-for-investment and reported in the balance sheet at amortized cost, the Company would recognize and measure an indemnification asset due from the USG at the same time related loan loss reserves are recorded for that loan equal to 90% of the amount of the loan loss reserve, subject to the first-loss limitation.

        Further, under indemnification accounting, recoveries (gains) may be recorded at times when such amounts are not contractually receivable from the USG based on the definition of covered losses in the loss-sharing agreement. Such amounts may or may not thereafter become contractually receivable, depending upon whether or not they become covered "losses" (see above for definition of covered "loss"). Indemnification accounting matches the amount and timing of the recording of recoveries with the amount and timing of the recognition of losses based on the U.S. GAAP accounting for the covered assets, as opposed to the amount and timing of recognition as defined in the loss-sharing agreement. The indemnification asset amount recorded will be adjusted, as appropriate, to take into consideration additional revenue and expense amounts related to the covered assets specifically defined as

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has recognized cumulative U.S. GAAP losses on the covered assets that are substantially below our first-loss amount and, therefore, no additional indemnification asset has been recognized as of such time.

        The fair value of the warrant issued to the UST, which remains outstanding is $88 million and was recorded as a credit to Additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.

        The following table summarizes the assets that were part of the covered asset pool agreed to between Citigroup and the USG as of January 16, 2009, with their values as of November 21, 2008 (except as set forth in the note to the table below), and the balances as of June 30, 2009, reflecting changes in the balances of assets that remained qualified, plus approximately $10 billion of new replacement assets that Citi substituted for non-qualifying assets. The $266.4 billion of covered assets at June 30, 2009 are recorded in Citi Holdings within Local Consumer Lending ($183.2 billion) and Special Asset Pool ($83.2 billion). The asset pool, as revised, remains subject to the USG's final review process, anticipated to be completed by August 13, 2009, with final composition of the asset pool established within 90 days after the USG's completion of its review.
