On September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced that it would extend credit to the American International
Group (AIG) under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act.  This secured lending will assist

its businesses in an orderly manner, with the least possible disruption to the overall economy.  The Board�s 
H.4.1 statistical release, �Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition
Statement of Federal Reserve Banks� will report this lending in �Other credit extensions� in table 1 and in
�Other loans� in table 3, table 4, and table 5.

Note on consolidation:
On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York extended a loan under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to Maiden Lane LLC, a limited liability company
formed to acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is the primary beneficiary of Maiden Lane LLC. Consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles, the assets and liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the preparation of the
statements of condition shown on this release. As a consequence of the consolidation, the extension of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to Maiden Lane LLC is
eliminated, the net assets of Maiden Lane LLC appear as an asset in this table (and table 1 and table 4), and the liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC to entities other than the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC, are included in other liabilities on the next page (and in table 1 and
table 4).
