  • The 2009 amount reflects refinements to initial December 31, 2008, Wachovia purchase accounting adjustments.
  • Principally reflects changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in interest rates, and costs to service, including delinquency and foreclosure costs.
  • Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows over time.

  • The 2009 amount reflects refinements to initial December 31, 2008, Wachovia purchase accounting adjustments.
  • Includes $350 million and $400 million in residential amortized MSRs at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The 2009 balance is all commercial amortized MSRs. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the residential MSR amortization was $(50) million and $(5) million, respectively. Effective January 1, 2012, the amortized residential MSR portfolio will be transferred to MSRs carried at fair value.
  • Commercial amortized MSRs are evaluated for impairment purposes by the following risk strata: agency (GSEs) and non-agency. There was no valuation allowance recorded for the periods presented on the commercial amortized MSRs. Residential amortized MSRs are evaluated for impairment purposes by the following risk strata: Mortgages sold to GSEs (FHLMC and FNMA) and mortgages sold to GNMA, each by interest rate stratifications. A valuation allowance of $37 million and $3 million was recorded on the residential amortized MSRs for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
  • Includes fair value of $316 million and $441 million in residential amortized MSRs and $1,440 million and $1,371 million in commercial amortized MSRs at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
