Publication Note


The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and
Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect the removal of table 4 "Information
on Principal Accounts of Maiden Lane LLC." The table has been removed because the remaining assets in the
portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC have been reduced to a de minimis balance.                            

Amounts for "Net portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC," continue to be shown on table 1 "Factors Affecting
Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions," on the renumbered table 4 "Consolidated Statement of Condition
of All Federal Reserve Banks" in order to provide information on figures from the previous year, and on the
renumbered table 5 "Statement of Condition of Each Federal Reserve Bank."

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 securities, Federal agency

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 and to manage those assets through time to maximize repayment of the credit extended and minimize disruption to financial markets. 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 4), 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 4).
