Reserves and monetary base figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements. (For more information, see Table 3.)
Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess reserves. (Also, see footnote 2 on Table 2 and footnote 2 on Table 3.)
Seasonally adJUSted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves Ia!!:> unadjusted total borrowings of depository institutions from the Federal Reserve.
Extended credit oonsists of borrowing at the discount window under the terms and conditions established for the extended credit program to help depository institutions deal with sustained liquidity
pressures. Because there is not the same need to repay such borrowing promptly as there is with traditional short-term adjustment credit, the money market impact of extended credit is similar to that of
nonborrowed reserves.
Excess reserves NSA equals unadjusted total reserves (Table 2, column 1) less unadjusted required reserves (Table 2, column 3).
The seasonally adjusted, break-adJUSted monetary base consists of (1) seasonally adJusted, break-adjusted total reserves plus (2) the seasonally adjusted currency component of the money stock plus
(3), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash and for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the seasonally
adjusted, break-adjusted difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. (Also see footnote 3 on Table 2 and footnote 4 on table 3.)

Reflects actual required reserves, wilh no adjustments to eliminate lhe effects of discontinuities, or "breaks", associated wilh regulatory changes in reserve requirements.
Reserve balances wilh Federal Reserve Bariks plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve requirements.
The monetary base, not break-adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, consists of ( 1) total reserves plus (2) required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float at Federal Reserve Banks
plus (3) lhe currency component of the money stock plus (4), for all quarterly reporters on lhe "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for alllhose weekly reporters whose
vauh cash exceeds lhelr required reserves, the difference between current vault cash and lhe amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. Aher the introduction of CAR, currency and vault
cash figures are measured over computation periods ending on Mondays.
·
Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate tor noat and includes other off-balance sheet •as-or adjustments.
Dates refer to the maintenance periods In which lhe vault cash can be used to satistv reserve requirements. Starti~ wilh lhe maintenance period ended November 25, 1992, each maintenance period tor
weel(ly reporters ends_16 days after the laaaec! comp!Jtation period lr:- w~i~ lhe yaurt cash is held. Preyiously, eacll maintenanc_e period ended 30 days after the lagged computation period.
All vault cash held dunng the lagged compulation penod by "bound" Institutions (I.e., those whose required reserves exceed lhelr vault cash) plus lhe amount of vaun cash applied during lhe maintenance
period by "nonbound" institutions (I.e., those whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves) to satisfy current reserve requirements.
Total vault cash held by depository institutions minus lhe amount applied to satisfy reserve requirements.
Consists of carryover only at depository institutions maintaining reserves on the basis of two-week maintenance periods. Reflects excess ( +) or deficit (-) reserves eligible to be carried forward into the
two-week reserve maintenance period ending on the date shown.

Figures reflect adjustments tor discontinuities or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements.
Break-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves (Table 3, column 3) plus excess reserves NSA (Table 1, column 5).
To adjusf required reserves for discontinuities due to regulatory changes In reserve requirements, a multiplicative procedure is used to estimate what required reserves would have been in past periods
had current reserve requirements been In effect Break-adjusted required reserves are equal to break-adJusted required reserves against transactions deposits.
The break-adjusted monetary base equals (1) break-adJusted total reserves plus (2) the (unadjusted) currency component of the money stock plus (3)kfor all quarterly reporters on the "Report of
Transaction Accounts, Other DepositS and Vault Cash and tor aU those weekly reporters whOse vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the brea -adjusted difference between current vault cash
and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements.
