This excerpt taken from the C 10-K filed Feb 24, 2006. Impact from Hurricane Katrina The Company recorded a $222 million after-tax charge ($357 million pretax) for the estimated probable losses incurred from Hurricane Katrina. This charge consists primarily of additional credit costs in U.S. Cards, U.S. Commercial Business, U.S. Consumer Lending and U.S. Retail Distribution businesses, based on total credit exposures of approximately $3.6 billion in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Individual Assistance designated areas. This charge does not include an after-tax estimate of $75 million ($109 million pretax) for fees and interest due from related customers that were waived during 2005. This excerpt taken from the C 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2005. Impact from Hurricane Katrina The Company recorded a $222 million ($357 million pretax) charge for the impact from Hurricane Katrina. This charge includes the Company's initial estimate of probable losses that have been incurred as of September 30, 2005. It consists primarily of additional credit reserve charges in Cards, Consumer Finance and Retail Banking businesses, based on total credit exposures of approximately $3.6 billion in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Individual Assistance designated areas. Given the limited access to customers and to properties in the affected areas, estimates have, in many cases, been based upon assumptions which include the identification of customers and properties impacted, type of damage inflicted upon collateral (i.e., flood or wind or both), existence of underlying insurance, and extent of damage. As the Company is able to gain better access to the affected areas and to customers in those areas, the loss estimates will be refined. This charge does not include $25 million (pretax) of waived fees and interest from customers during the quarter, which are likely to continue in the 2005 fourth quarter. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
