Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company elected to revise its credit policy related to the nonaccrual status and timing of charge-off recognition of second lien loans. The Company began classifying second lien loans as nonaccrual when the first lien loan is classified as nonaccrual, even if the second lien loan is performing, and as a result, the Company reclassified $81 million of performing second lien loans to nonaccrual. Additionally, the Company previously charged-off second lien loans at 180 days past due, but implemented a change in policy in the third quarter of 2012 to recognize the charge-off at 120 days past due as the analysis indicated that when a second lien loan becomes 120 days past due, the vast majority of these loans ultimately experience a charge-off. The change in credit policy resulted in $65 million of incremental charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Except for accounting policies that have been recently adopted as described below, and the policy change related to second lien loans noted above, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The primary purpose of the ASU was to conform the language in the fair value measurements guidance in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The ASU also clarified how to apply existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. Further, the ASU required additional disclosures about transfers between level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, quantitative information for level 3 inputs, and the level of the fair value measurement hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. The ASU was effective for the interim reporting period ending March 31, 2012. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2012, and the required disclosures are included in Note 12, “Fair Value Election and Measurement.” The adoption did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or EPS.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The ASU requires presentation of the components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The update does not change the items presented in OCI and does not affect the calculation or reporting of EPS. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05,” which deferred the effective date for the amendments to the reclassification of items out of AOCI. In June 2012, the FASB decided that the presentation requirements deferred in ASU 2011-12 would not be reinstated. The guidance, with the exception of reclassification adjustments, was effective on January 1, 2012, and must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2012, and the required disclosures are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income. The adoption did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or EPS.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” The ASU amends interim and annual goodwill impairment testing requirements such that an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The guidance was effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2012. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or EPS.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." The ASU permits entities to perform an optional qualitative assessment for determining whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company has evaluated this ASU and it is not expected to impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or EPS when adopted.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements." The ASU prescribes technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification for source literature amendments, guidance clarification and reference corrections, and relocated guidance within the Accounting Standards Codification. The ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is evaluating the impact of the ASU; however, it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or EPS.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company terminated the Agreements that hedged the Coke common stock, and the Company sold, in the market or to the Coke Counterparty, 59 million of its 60 million shares of Coke and contributed the remaining 1 million shares of Coke to the SunTrust Foundation for a net gain of $1.9 billion. The contribution to the SunTrust Foundation increased noninterest expense by $38 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Details of the transactions are discussed in Note 10, "Derivative Financial Instruments."
The amortized cost and fair value of investments in debt securities at September 30, 2012, by estimated average life, are shown below.

Securities in an Unrealized Loss Position
The Company held certain investment securities having unrealized loss positions. Market changes in interest rates and credit spreads may result in temporary unrealized losses as the market price of securities fluctuates. As of September 30, 2012, the Company did not intend to sell these securities nor was it more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery or maturity. The Company has reviewed its portfolio for OTTI in accordance with the accounting policies outlined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
