State and Municipal Securities

        Citigroup's AFS state and municipal bonds consist primarily of bonds that are financed through Tender Option Bond programs. The process for identifying credit impairment for bonds in this program is largely based on third-party credit ratings. Individual bond positions must meet minimum ratings requirements, which vary based on the sector of the bond issuer. The average portfolio rating, ignoring any insurance, is Aa3/AA-.

        Citigroup monitors the bond issuer and insurer ratings on a daily basis. In the event of a downgrade of the bond below the Aa3/AA-, the subject bond is specifically reviewed for potential shortfall in contractual principal and interest. Citigroup has not recorded any credit impairments on bonds held as part of the Tender Option Bond program.

        The remainder of Citigroup's AFS state and municipal bonds, outside of the Tender Option Bond Programs, are specifically reviewed for credit impairment based on instrument-specific estimates of cash flows, probability of default and loss given default.
