Item No.
Caption and Instructions
All transactions within the consolidated bank should be reported on a net basis, i.e., intrabank
7
(cont.)
transactions should not be reported in this item. No other netting of contracts is permitted for
purposes of this item. Therefore, do not net: (1) credit derivatives with third parties on which
the reporting bank is the beneficiary against credit derivatives with third parties on which the
reporting bank is the guarantor, or (2) contracts subject to bilateral netting agreements. The
notional amount of credit derivatives should not be included in Schedule RC-L, items 12
through 14, and the fair value of credit derivatives should not be included in Schedule RC-L,
item 15.
As defined in FASB Statement No. 133, fair value is the amount at which an asset (liability)
could be bought (incurred) or sold (settled) in a current transaction between willing parties,
that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Quoted market prices in active markets are
the best evidence of fair value and should be used as the basis for the measurement, if
available. If a quoted market price is available, the fair value is the product of the number of
trading units times that market price. If a quoted market price is not available, the estimate of
fair value should be based on the best information available in the circumstances. The
estimate of fair value should consider prices for similar assets or similar liabilities and the
results of valuation techniques to the extent available in the circumstances. For purposes of
this item, the reporting bank should determine the fair value of its credit derivative contracts in
the same manner that it determines the fair value of these contracts for other financial
reporting purposes.
