Note: On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended credit to Maiden Lane LLC
under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. This limited liability company was formed to
acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns and to manage those assets through time to maximize repayment of the credit
extended and to minimize disruption to financial markets. The remaining outstanding balances of the senior
loan from FRBNY to Maiden Lane LLC, and the subordinated loan from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to Maiden Lane LLC were
repaid in full, with interest.

2.  Face value of the securities.

    effective-interest basis.

9.  Revalued daily at current foreign currency exchange rates.                                              
10. Includes accrued interest, which represents the daily accumulation of interest earned, and other        
    accounts receivable.

1.  Includes securities lent to dealers under the overnight securities lending facility; refer to table 1A.                                                                                                 
2.  Face value of the securities.                                                                                                                                                                           
3.  Includes the original face value of inflation-indexed securities and compensation that adjusts for the effect of inflation on the original face value of such securities.                               
4.  Guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The current face value shown is the remaining principal balance of the securities.                                                               
5.  Reflects the premium or discount, which is the difference between the purchase price and the face value of the securities that has not been amortized. For U.S. Treasury and Federal agency debt        
    securities, amortization is on a straight-line basis. For mortgage-backed securities, amortization is on an effective-interest basis.

7.  Refer to table 4 and the note on consolidation below.                                                                                                                                                   
8.  Dollar value of foreign currency held under these agreements valued at the exchange rate to be used when the foreign currency is returned to the foreign central bank. This exchange rate equals        
    the market exchange rate used when the foreign currency was acquired from the foreign central bank.                                                                                                 
9.  Revalued daily at current foreign currency exchange rates.                                                                                                                                              
10. Includes accrued interest, which represents the daily accumulation of interest earned, and other accounts receivable.

12. Includes deposits held at the Reserve Banks by international and multilateral organizations, government-sponsored enterprises, and designated financial market utilities. Also includes certain         
    deposit accounts other than the U.S. Treasury, General Account, for services provided by the Reserve Banks as fiscal agents of the United States.

    providing for the costs of operations, payment of dividends, and the amount necessary to maintain a $10 billion surplus.                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                                            


Note on consolidation:


On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended a loan to Maiden Lane LLC (ML) under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. ML was formed to
acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns. On June 14, 2012, the remaining outstanding balance of the senior loan from FRBNY to ML was repaid in full, with interest. On November 15, 2012, the
remaining outstanding balance of the subordinated loan from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to ML was repaid in full, with interest. FRBNY was the primary beneficiary of ML because it received any residual
returns and could have absorbed any residual losses should they have occurred. Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of ML were consolidated with the
assets and liabilities of FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on this release. As a consequence of the consolidation, the extension of credit from FRBNY to ML was
eliminated, the net assets of ML appeared as assets on the previous page (and in table 1 and table 5), and the liabilities of ML to entities other than FRBNY, including those with recourse only
to the ML portfolio holdings, were included in other liabilities in this table (and table 1 and table 5).
