Notes to the tables
Data are as of March 31. Industry groupings are based on reported Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes for borrowers.
A Shared National Credit is any loan or formal loan commitment extended to a borrower that in
original amount aggregates to $20 million or more, and that is shared by three or more
unaffiliated, supervised institutions under a formal lending agreement. Before 1999, loans
included in the Shared National Credit Program comprised all loans or loan commitments of $20
million or more held by two or more supervised institutions. A supervised institution is
considered to be any financial institution subject to supervision by a federal bank regulatory
agency; this includes all FDIC-insured banks, their branches, subsidiaries and affiliates; federally
licensed U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks; state-licensed branches and agencies of
foreign banks; and bank holding companies and their nonbank subsidiaries, and affiliates. U.S.
representative or loan production offices of foreign banks or foreign offices of foreign banks are
not considered supervised institutions for these purposes. Foreign offices of U.S. banks are
generally not covered by the program.
“Classified” loans are as follows: Substandard--A Substandard asset is inadequately protected
by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the
liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will
sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful--An asset classified Doubtful
has all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard, with the added characteristic that
the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts,
conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loss--Assets classified Loss are
considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not
warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage
value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a basically worthless asset
even though partial recovery may be effected in the future. Loans listed for Special Mention
(also known as “Other assets especially mentioned”) are generally considered to be loans that
have potential weaknesses that may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or
inadequately protect the bank’s credit position at some future date.
