`On October 8, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board announced that it had authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York to borrow securities from certain regulated U.S. insurance subsidiaries of the American International
Group (AIG), under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act.  This transaction is economically equivalent to
an extension of credit collateralized by the securities borrowed.  The Board's H.4.1 statistical release,
"Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve
Banks," reports the funds extended to AIG under this transaction with other lending to AIG in table 1 in the
line "Other credit extensions."  In tables 3, 4, and 5, all of the lending to AIG is included in the item
"Other loans."

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).
