For Release at

  July 3, 2008

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 include information related to Maiden Lane LLC, a
limited liability company formed to facilitate the arrangements associated
with JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s acquisition of Bear Stearns Companies, Inc.

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.  Payments
by Maiden Lane LLC from the proceeds of the net portfolio holdings will be
made in the following order:  operating expenses of the LLC, principal due to
the FRBNY, interest due to the FRBNY, principal due to JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
and interest due to JPMorgan Chase & Co.  Any remaining funds will be paid to
the FRBNY.

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and
liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC have been consolidated with the assets and
liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition
shown on the release because the FRBNY is the primary beneficiary of Maiden
Lane LLC.

The consequences of this consolidation appear on the release in the following
ways.  The extension of credit from the FRBNY to Maiden Lane LLC is eliminated
as is the accrued interest on this loan.  The net portfolio holdings of Maiden
Lane LLC appear as an asset on the statement of condition of the FRBNY (table
5), the consolidated statement of condition of all Federal Reserve Banks
(table 4), and factors affecting reserve balances of depository institutions
(table 1).  The liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC to entities other than the
FRBNY are included in "other liabilities and capital" in table 1 and in "other
liabilities and accrued dividends" in table 4 and table 5.

Information on the LLC is presented separately in the newly created table 2,
"Information on Principal Accounts of Maiden Lane LLC."  This table presents
the fair value of the net portfolio holdings of the LLC along with the book
value of the outstanding principal of the loan extended by the FRBNY, the book
value of accrued interest payable to the FRBNY, and the book value of
outstanding principal and accrued interest on the loan payable to JPMorgan
Chase & Co.  Information pertaining to fair values will be updated quarterly.
