This excerpt taken from the C 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2005. CORPORATE PORTFOLIO REVIEW Corporate loans are identified as impaired and placed on a nonaccrual basis when it is determined that the payment of interest or principal is doubtful of collection or when interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Impaired corporate loans are written down to the extent that principal is judged to be uncollectible. Impaired collateral-dependent loans are written down to the lower of cost or collateral value, less disposal costs. The following table summarizes corporate cash-basis loans and net credit losses:
As noted in the table above, compared with September 30, 2005, cash-basis loans decreased $990 million from September 30, 2004 due to a $1.004 billion decrease in Capital Markets and Banking. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to charge-offs against reserves as well as paydowns on corporate borrowers in North America, Argentina, Brazil and Asia. Cash-basis loans decreased $386 million from June 30, 2005, primarily due to decreases in Capital Markets and Banking. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to asset sales and paydowns from borrowers in North America, and Latin America. 49 Total corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $153 million, $133 million, $126 million and $95 million at September 30, 2005, June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Total corporate loans outstanding at September 30, 2005, were $126 billion, as compared to $124 billion, $114 billion and $112 billion at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The total corporate portfolio for direct outstandings and its unfunded commitments subject to the loan loss reserve was $440 billion as of September 30, 2005, compared to $428 billion, $377 billion and $366 billion as of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively. The allowance for credit losses is established by management based upon estimates of probable losses in the portfolio. This evaluative process includes the utilization of statistical models to analyze such factors as default rates, both historic and projected, geographic and industry concentrations and environmental factors. Larger non-homogeneous credits are evaluated on an individual loan basis, examining such factors as the borrower's financial strength and payment history, the financial stability of any guarantors and, for secured loans, the realizable value of any collateral. Additional reserves are established to provide for imprecision caused by the use of historical and projected loss data. Judgmental assessments are used to determine residual losses on the leasing portfolio. Citigroup's allowance for credit losses for loans, leases and lending commitments of $10.815 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup's allowance for credit losses attributed to the Corporate portfolio was $3.589 billion at September 30, 2005, compared to $3.404 billion at June 30, 2005, $3.490 billion and $3.740 billion at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The allowance attributed to corporate loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments as a percentage of corporate loans was 2.84% at September 30, 2005, as compared to 2.75%, 3.07% and 3.33% at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The $151 million decrease in the total allowance at September 30, 2005 from September 30, 2004 primarily reflects net reserve releases for funded exposures of $100 million due to continued improvement in the portfolio, net specific reserve releases/utilization of $136 million and purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of KorAm. These decreases are partially offset by a $200 million increase in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, due to an increase in outstanding commitments. Losses on corporate lending activities and the level of cash-basis loans can vary widely with respect to timing and amount, particularly within any narrowly defined business or loan type.

As noted in the table above, compared with June 30, 2005, cash-basis loans decreased $1.023 billion from June 30, 2004 due to a $1.008 billion decrease in Capital Markets and Banking. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to charge-offs against reserves as well as paydowns on corporate borrowers in North America, Argentina, Brazil and Asia. Cash-basis loans decreased $136 million from March 31, 2005, primarily due to decreases in Capital Markets and Banking. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to asset sales and paydowns from borrowers in North America, Europe, Brazil and Argentina. 45 Total corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $133 million, $127 million, $126 million and $98 million at June 30, 2005, March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Total corporate loans outstanding at June 30, 2005, were $124 billion as compared to $118 billion, $114 billion and $113 billion at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The total corporate portfolio for direct outstandings, including drawn loans, overdrafts, interbank placements, banker's acceptances, certain investment securities and leases, and its unfunded commitments, including unused commitments to lend, letters of credit and financial guarantees was $509 billion as of June 30, 2005, compared to $465 billion and $445 billion as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Citigroup's allowance for credit losses for loans, leases and lending commitments of $11.118 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup's allowance for credit losses attributed to the Corporate portfolio was $3.404 billion at June 30, 2005, compared to $3.434 billion at March 31, 2005, $3.490 billion and $3.999 billion at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The allowance attributed to corporate loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments as a percentage of corporate loans was 2.75% at June 30, 2005, as compared to 2.92%, 3.07% and 3.54% at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The $595 million decrease in the total allowance at June 30, 2005 from June 30, 2004 primarily reflects reserve releases for funded exposures of $400 million due to continued improvement in the portfolio, net specific reserve releases/utilization of $268 million partially offset by a $100 million increase in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, due to an increase in outstanding commitments.

Corporate cash-basis loans were $1.732 billion, $1.906 billion and $2.913 billion at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Cash-basis loans decreased $1.181 billion from March 31, 2004 due to a $1.156 billion decrease in Capital Markets and Banking and a $25 million decrease in Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to charge-offs against reserves as well as paydowns on corporate borrowers in Argentina, North America and Mexico, partially offset by the addition of KorAm. Cash-basis loans decreased $174 million from December 31, 2004 due to decreases in Capital Markets and Banking and Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to asset sales and paydowns from borrowers in Argentina and Brazil. 43 Total corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $127 million, $126 million and $94 million at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Total corporate loans outstanding at March 31, 2005 were $118 billion as compared to $114 billion and $100 billion at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Total corporate net credit losses of ($23) million at March 31, 2005 decreased $201 million compared to March 31, 2004, primarily reflecting recoveries as well as lower net credit losses from counterparties in Europe, particularly in Poland, and Mexico. The allowance for credit losses is established by management based upon estimates of probable losses in the portfolio. This evaluative process includes the utilization of statistical models to analyze such factors as default rates, both historic and projected, geographic and industry concentrations and environmental factors.

The allowance attributed to corporate loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments as a percentage of corporate loans was 2.92% at March 31, 2005, as compared to 3.07% and 3.87% at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. The $454 million decrease in the total allowance at March 31, 2005 from March 31, 2004 primarily reflects reserve releases of $750 million due to continued improvement in the portfolio, partially offset by the addition of KorAm.
